1保护野生动物有必要吗？
Wild animals are of no importance in the twenty-first century. Some people think that preventing these wild animals from dying out is a waste of resource. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this?

Biological diversity has never been so threatened as it is today as a result of the process of human civilisation. The various forms of pressure created by human activity have destroyed natural balance, led to the deterioration of natural habitats, genetic erosion and the rarity, even disappearance, of a number of plant and animal species.

As the pace of civilization accelerates, more people, taking more space, needing to use more natural resources, engaging in ever-growing consumption, impose severe deterioration on the habitat of animals. An increasing number of people come to realize that the disappearance of animals will result in serious threat to the equilibrium(平衡) of ecosystem. Simply put, the extinction of hawks, a rat-eating bird seen in many regions, will result in the rapid propagation（繁殖，增殖） of rats. And rats, further, will destroy the prairies and threaten the other animals like gazelles, zebras and others, who live on grass and green lands. The coexistence of animals and human beings creates perfect harmony and brings about the vividness to our planet.

It is hard to imagine what our world would be like without animals. Sociologists also point out that the disappearance of animals can cause social and economic problems. Animal trade, as a supporting sector to the world economy, was very active before. However, the situation is beyond control since animal trade is very profitable and alluring. Many species cannot escape the adversity（不幸，厄运） of being killed.

Certainly, our diet cannot be without meat. There are living stocks, which can provide us with sufficient and nutritious produce. Therefore, we need not to resort to wild animals, especially the endangered ones. To protect animals is to protect our living environment. Every individual should join efforts to keep the diversity of animals.

2部分电视广告误导消费者，政府该采取措施制止消费者吗
Nowadays there is more and more TV advertisement, and there is a lot of misinformation in some of these advertisements. Some people think that consumers have the right to know the correct information and that government

No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements and advertising exerts a tremendous influence on us. Recently, there are people who are of the opinion that public has the right to know the correct information of the advertisements and government also should restrict the contents of these advertisements. Personally I agree with this opinion for the following reasons.

In the first instance, consumers have the right to know the correct information before deciding on whether to buy them. Advertisements are highly information that helps people to make choice before they go to buy what they need. If the advertisement exaggerates the products it also will persuade people into buying things, which they don’t really want.

Secondly, any misleading advertisements will lead to the marketing tricks, causing chaos in the market. Too many misleading advertisements are barriers to distinguish between decent products or products of bad quality. His bread in truth is made with soy flour, while he advertises it as white bread. These misleading information causes illegal competition.

Last but not least, government should stipulate laws in consumers’ interests. According to the laws, advertisements must be truthful. If the advertisements mislead consumers, government can impose great fine on them to set a lesson.

In general, the role of advertisements is inevitable and undeniable. A good advertisement can be a bridge between business and consumers and helps keep business moving. So we need correct information and government also needs to restrict the contents of advertisements. Let misinformation of advertisements be far away from us.

3．如何看待独居现象
More and more people are living by themselves today. What are the advantages of living alone? What are the disadvantages? Write an essay of about 250 words explaining the advantages and disadvantages.

You come home alone after a long day at work. You open the door to your home. No one is there. Is it blessed-silence you hear or echoing emptiness?

Millions of people who live alone today may have either experience. Some love living alone, yet others wish they didn't have to.

When they open that door at night, people who live alone do not have to put up with demands or listen to someone's noise or meet anyone's dinner deadlines. They do not have to debate about which TV program to watch or stay off the phone because someone else is expecting an important call. No one else messes up(弄糟，弄乱) his or her kitchen.

But when they are sick, no one else will bring them an aspirin or call the doctor. Preparing dinner for one can be difficult, and eating dinner for one night after night can be very lonely. Perhaps no one really cares what he or she did all day. If they are feeling sad, there may be no one to cheer them up. Some people who live alone say the worst times come when something very good happens because there is no one to share the joy.

During the course of a lifetime, one may sometimes live with others and sometimes live alone. Each way of life has its advantages. Learning to take advantage of them is one key to contentment

要不要对比较腐败的贫穷国家进行援助

Many people think that countries have a moral obligation to help each other, while other argue that the aid money is misspent by the governments that receive it, so the international aid should not be given to the poor countries in the world. Discuss the two views of international aid and give your opinion.

With the process of economic globalisation, many countries and regions have strengthened cooperation and liaison（组织单位间的合作） in the fields of industry, agriculture, trade and finance. In order to dedicate to the mutual development, many developed countries spare no effort to help the poor countries by means of technological, medical and financial aid, which, to my mind, is quite essential to the development of the world.

Firstly, aids from developed countries optimise（使某事物尽可能完美） people's living standard and eradicate poverty in the poor countries. Due to the backwardness of science and technology, people in some undeveloped countries and regions such as Africa, Latin America and Asia suffer a great deal from poverty, hunger and the scarce of water. International aids from developed countries have improved their living environment and helped them with the development of agriculture, industry and economy.

Secondly, international aids give good medical care and help promote hygienic（卫生的，清洁的） condition in the poor countries. Malaria, cholera （霍乱）and smallpox were once severe threats to people's health. With the help of the World Health Organization and some developed countries, these diseases have been eliminated soon and the residents in the infected areas survived these deadly diseases, which would have devoured（毁灭，吞噬） millions of lives without international aid.

Finally, aids to the undeveloped countries in turn benefit the donators. Due to the limitation of natural and human resources, the production cost rises sharply in the developed countries. With a view to reducing （为了做…以…为目的）cost, many countries transferred their assembly lines(装配线) and production bases to the developing countries, which not only solves the problem of low rate of employment in the developing countries but also make full use of the local resources.

Nevertheless, some countries are showing great concern about the mal-expense of their aid aroused by bureaucracy and corruption of some governments. Therefore, the governments should take effective measures to utilize(应用或利用某事物) international aids reasonably and prevent abuse. Only with the help of international aids, can our world develop more quickly and prosperously.

你认为电脑盲有哪些劣势？政府应如何帮助他们？
The one who do not know how to use computer become more and more disadvantageous. Show the disadvantages and what action should government take?
Computer plays such an important role nowadays that it undeniably becomes the biggest concern of the present-day world as a whole. With the steady growth in the hi-tech, as well as computer, there is a growing tendency that man who does not know how to use the computer will become an illiterate. As far as I am concerned, there are several major disadvantages for these people.

In the first place, without computer's help, someone may waste a large amount of precious time to pay attention to complex calculation. It is believed that computer can do almost everything. It was gradually used not only in mathematics, physics, chemistry and astronomy, but in places like library hospital and military army to replace the works of man. Besides, a computer works much faster and more accurately than man. Therefore, one who cannot use the computer always fails to keep up with the development of modern society.

In addition, these kinds of people may lose opportunities that make new friends or contact with outside world and new technology. It is very clear that lots of changes have taken place in many aspects of people's lives because of the coming of the computer era. Multi-media and surfing on-line provide people with chances to learn more about the world and up-dated information. Moreover, sending E-mail seems to be the most convenient and efficient way to communicate with families, relatives and best friends. Unfortunately all above will never happen in the life of the layman(外行，门外汉).

In order to let everyone know about the computer skills, government should set forth solutions to eliminate the number of these kinds of illiterates. First and foremost, it is suggested to open more free related training classes, which can encourage people to cultivate the interesting of using computers. What's more, it is stylish to advertise the benefits to learn the computer.

All in all, the future for the computer is very promising. We hardly imagine what our world would be like without the computers.

汽车在现代生活中的利弊

The automobile has had a profound effect on modern life. Some of these effects have been positive and others negative. Detail these effects in a 250-word essay

The automobile has probably changed people's way of life more than any other invention of the last century. More than electric lights, television, air travel, or even computers, automobiles have changed where people live and work, how they make a living, and even how they find a mate.

Before there were cars, people generally travelled on foot or by horse and buggy（轻便的马车） over unpaved roads. Whether they lived in the city or the country, they rarely went farther than a few miles from home. They saw the same people and places year after year.

The car opened up whole new worlds. Roads were paved, and motorists went to see different parts of the country. Some decided to stay. People with cars could live farther from their jobs, and so the age of commuting began. New suburbs sprang（spring）up （迅速或突然的出现，发展，生长等）around the cities. The auto industry boomed, and millions of Americans made a living manufacturing, selling, servicing, or insuring cars.

As more people got cars, your people began driving them. No longer was courtship（求爱期，追求期） confined to the girl's front porch, under the watchful eye of her parents. The automobile began the sexual revolution.

Some people believe that commuting, suburban life, and courting in cars are mixed blessings. Whether the changes are good or bad, they seem to be here to stay.

公司是否应鼓励年老员工退休

Some people believe that in order to give opportunities to new generation, companies should encourage high level employees who are older than 55 to retire. Do you agree or disagree? Give your reasons and personal experience.

Recent years have witnessed the tendency that companies, in order to give opportunities to new generation, tend to encourage high level employees who are older than 55 to retire. After pondering this phenomenon on many occasions, I finally reach the opinion that this trend is something worthy to be advocated and I cannot skip it. Inevitably, there are numerous reasons that count. I would like to expose a few of the most conspicuous (明显的，显而易见的)ones as follows.

The point on the top of my list for my propensity（倾向，习性） is that young people, physically, are more vigorous and energetic than elder ones. That is to say, young employees are more reliable when saddled with（使某人承担使人厌恶的责任、任务） heavy burdens, which the elder cannot withstand due to their physical condition. Confronted with the work of high density（密度）, the elderly are（be） inclined not to（有某种倾向，很有可能做某事） catch up with the steps of the young who may accomplish their mission swiftly and adroitly（熟练的，机敏的，灵巧的）.

Another factor we cannot neglect is that young people are（be） more prone to（易于，有…的倾向） achieve outstanding academic performance with formal education. In case of （至于）the youth, they live in a world with the burgeoning（迅速增长的，发展很快的） of computer science and high-advanced technology, so it is easier for them to access the avant-courier（先驱，先锋） and to accept it. On the country, in case of the people in their later middle age, they are（be） more apt to be conservative and what they have learned are most probably to be behind the time. All of these make it rational for them to be taken the place of.

Also, it is sagacious（睿智的，精明的，有判断力的） to keep an eye on the crucial cause that young employees, mentally speaking, are rich in creativity, flexibility, and self-motivation. Owing to the strength in body, they are always ready to find new ways to solve the problem they meet, which will contribute a lot to the company not only to survive in the fierce competition but also to maintain sustainable development.

（简洁地说）, though I do not mean that the aged employees who own the abundance of routine practice and social experience are neither rhyme nor reason(毫无道理), from what I have presented above, we can safely draw the conclusion that it is advisable to give opportunities to new generation in companies and incorporations

智能机器是否能代替人类

We will have intelligent machine-robot in the future to do the work instead of human beings. State the possible benefits and dangers of it for a university lecturer.

(Sample 1)
The progression（进程，进步） of technology is inevitable and undeniable. There also has been discussion as to（至于，关于） advantages and disadvantages of intelligent machine-robot. Many people have, on different occasions, voiced their opinions, which understandably vary from one to another. I would like to discuss the pros and cons of automated machines in the following.

In the first instance, robot can do lots of jobs for human beings, which saves the labour force to be enga
