1. 作文题目：论校园里的金钱挥霍
　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Extravagant Spending on College Campus. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below:
　　1) 很多大学生每月的花销越来越高，根本没有节俭的概念，
　　2) 分析产生这一现象的原因，
　　3) 我的看法。
参考范文： Extravagant Spending on College Campus
　　According to a survey, in recent years the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise. Many college students have no concept of thrift in their mind. They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter into the society. This extravagant spending is primarily caused by the following factors.
　　First of all, nowadays most of the students are the only children of their families. They are the apple in their family’s eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money. In addition, with the improvement of living standards, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children. Moreover, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tend to need more money. Finally, campus love is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.
From my point of view, a college student, as a pure consumer, should learn to be thrifty. We should limit our expenditure on daily necessities but not buy whatever we want regardless of their prices. The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.

2. 作文题目：Starting Career in a Big City or Small Town?
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Starting Career in a Big City or Small Town? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
　　1) 很多的大学生毕业后留在大城市工作;
　　2) 也有人选择到小城镇开始自己的职业生涯;
　　3) 结合自己的实际情况谈谈自己的想法。
参考范文： Starting Career in a Big City or Small Town?
　　Want to be a small fish in a big pond or the other way round? Every graduate faces this question when starting his career. A large number of college graduates prefer to stay in big cities, which mean more experiences, more opportunities to see the big world and more space for career development. At the same time, higher salary is another temptation。
　　But some other graduates intend to start in small towns. Even though there may not be many big companies, they can have a quieter and less competitive life. Another reason is that they can be a big fish in a small pond. They can easily get the management's attention and may win promotion earlier。
　　As far as I am concerned, I prefer to start in a metropolis like Shanghai. A good begin is half the battle, and in Shanghai I can find a job in a big company where I can meet people from different places and cultures. I will learn from them what I can not get from textbooks.

3. 作文题目：
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic The Prevalence of Western Holidays. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1) 中国传统节日受到冷遇，西方节日却日益升温;
2) 形成这种现象的原因;
3) 你对这种现象的态度。
参考范文： The Prevalence of Western Holidays
It is noticeable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while Chinese traditional holidays are being somewhat neglected. Old people often complain that Chinese New Year has lost its real meaning. To their astonishment, young people in China who are ignorant about Chinese traditional holidays are crazy about Christmas or Valentine’s Day.
There are several possible reasons for this phenomenon. First, western nations, such as the United States and Britain, are powerful and dominant in every aspect. Everything in these countries is assumed to be superior and adored by some modern young people. Second, the prevalence of English as a world language and the development of globalization enable western culture to prevail in China. Overwhelmed by such a trend, Chinese unconsciously get involved in western culture. Last but not least, some Chinese people have blind faith in foreign things while miss our own possessions with contempt.
I am critical of this trend. China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. In modern times, Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. But it seems that young people no longer treasure the traditions. On the contrary, they turn to pursue enthusiastically a supposedly more modern culture. If this trend is allowed to continue, the priceless heritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. Nobody expects such a consequence. So let’s join hand in hand to protect Chinese tradition, especially traditional holidays.

4. 作文题目：What Is in the Way of Paying Back the Loans
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic What Is in the Way of Paying Back the Loans. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese:
1) 当前一部分学生是经过银行贷款完成学业的;
2) 可是有少数学生毕业后没有按时还贷;
3) 你认为有哪些原因，应该如何解决此类问题。
参考范文： What Is in the Way of Paying Back the Loans
Ever since colleges started to charge the students for the education they receive, there has always been a problem for some students, especially for those from remote rural regions, to get the money for it. So the government offers them an option of borrowing money from banks. Surveys show that the number of students financing his education in this way is increasing.
However, some students, although not many, failed to pay back the loans as they had promised in the contract. The banks have a very hard time coping with this problem. And the government can do nothing effective to help the banks.
I think there is more than one reason for this. Dishonesty may be one but not the major one. As is known, we are experiencing a particular phase of economic development where the supply of human resources is much bigger than the demand for it. So many students are not able to find a well-paid job. How can they pay the loans back? To solve this problem, I think the government should make efforts to get the whole economy go smoothly, creating more job opportunities.

5. 作文题目：Generation Gap
Directions: Write a composition entitled Generation Gap. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:
1) 现代生活越来越好，但老年人和年轻人之间的代沟却依然不可逾越
2) 产生代沟的原因
3) 解决的办法
参考范文： 　Generation Gap
Though many aspects of our social life have been improved, the generation gap between the youths and the olders remain and even grows wider.
In my opinion, because of the influence of individualism from western civilization, the youths do not blindly follow what the elders say, that causes the gap. The young are creative and revolutionary, always go along with the trend and like changing. While the old, accustomed to everything of the past, are hostile to change. Also with more and more different beliefs and philosophical ideas, it is natural the young hold different opinions from the old.
I think in order to narrow the gap, both parts should try to understand and respect each other, instead of trying to change others as they wish. Diversity doesn't mean conflict so long as they hold the right attitude towards the problems.

6. 作文题目：Due Attention Should Be Given to Speaking
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Due Attention Should Be Given to Speaking. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese:
1) 如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视口语
2) 出现这种现象的原因是……
3) 为改变这种状况，我认为……
参考范文：
Due Attention Should Be Given to Speaking
Nowadays fewer and fewer students pay attention to their spoken English, which results in a dramatic increase in the number of students who can spell English words but are incapable of speaking them fluently or correctly. This phenomenon has aroused many people’s attention.
Why does such a phenomenon emerge? As far as I’m concerned, there are possibly two reasons contributing to this phenomenon. On the one hand, exam-oriented education makes many schools lay emphasis on passing the English exams, which leads to the lack of speaking environment for students to practice their spoken English. On the other hand, students themselves don’t realize the importance of the ability to speak English which has a great influence on their future study and career development.
To change this situation, I think, we can take the following measures. First, the importance of oral English should be emphasized to raise students’ awareness of the necessity of speaking English. Second, exams should be modified to make students pay attention to their spoken English. Third, schools can organize various activities to arouse students’ interest in speaking English.

7. 作文题目：Private School
Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Private School. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
　　1) 当前，社会上有很多私立学校和培训学校;
　　2) 私立学校的利与弊;
　　3) 你的看法。
参考范文： Private School
It can be noticed that a large number of private schools or training organizations become a new landscape in education. When you read newspapers, when you watch TV, when you walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools. There are private schools mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music and sports.
However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can meet the special needs of the society or the particular requirements of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition。
When asked to decide whether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools, I will not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. Although attending a training course will result in the extra cost or burden, it is of tremendous merits in preparing my work and cultivating my skills.

8. 作文题目：孝敬父母
Directions: Write an essay based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:
　　1) describe the drawing briefly,
　　2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) state your point of view.

参考范文：
This is quite an extraordinary and meaningful picture. The old grandma, when alive, was fed poorly with a bowl of rice for every meal. In contrast, after her death, there is a memorial tablet set up for her, in front of which is a table of delicacies as tributes. Apparently, the grandma’s children merely want to show off how well they treat their mother while they were actually ingrates.
　　Ridiculous as it is, the phenomenon is not rare in today’s society. For one thing, enormous economic development brings not only wealth, but also the public obsession for material possessions, individual gain and loss which undermines the once sacred bond between parents and children. For another, people seem to be fond of boasting off how they abide by traditions through holding grand funerals for their parents. As a matter of fact, some even compete about the extravagance of the event.
I contend that those who practice as the picture reveals miss the essence and deep values of our traditions. Filial piety should not be expressed via superficial “performance”, but via children’s genuine care and love for their parents. Thinking about how parents have taken care of us when we were babies in cradles, we should realize that they all need due attention when aging.
译文：
这是一幅非常特别而且有意义的图画。一位老奶奶在生前吃得非常简单，每顿饭只有一碗米饭。相反，在她过世后，后人为她立了一个牌位，前面放了一桌的山珍海味作为她的贡品。显然她的孩子们只是想炫耀她们对待母亲有多么好，实际上她们只是忘恩负义之辈。
尽管这种现象非常荒唐，可是在我们的社会中却并不少见。一方面，经济的巨大发展不但带来了更多的财富，而且也使人们热衷于物质收益和个人得失，这些都破坏了过去那种父母与儿女之间的神圣关系。另一方面，人们似乎非常喜欢经过为父母举办豪华的葬礼来显示她们有多么遵守传统。实际上，有一些人甚至攀比葬礼的奢华铺张。
不过，我认为图中揭示的这种做法没有抓住我们传统文化的本质和深层价值。孝顺不应该经过表面的“表演”来表现，而是应该经过孩子们对父母真正的关爱来表示。想一想当我们还是在摇篮中的婴儿的时候父母曾给过我们怎样的关爱，我们应该意识到在她们老了以后也应该得到该得的关心。

9. 作文题目：The Role of Mobile Phone in People's Communication

The Role of Mobile Phone in People's Communication
　　The popularity of smartphones has exerted great influence on the way people communicate, so much so that an increasing number of individuals contend that face-to-face communication is being replaced by texts and images on the mobile phone.
　　There are more than one angle to consider this phenomenon. On one hand, it is pleasantly acknowledged that smartphones shorten the distance between families and friends. Even people from different sides of the globe can share pictures, feelings and thoughts through various types of apps on the phone, thus building a long-distance connection. On the other hand, as the picture warns us, too much smartphone addiction interferes with people's real-life communication. Statistics show that over 70 percent of face-to-face communication consists of facial expressions and body language, which is why people should stay away from mobile phones when they have the chance to actually talk and communicate with others.
　　In a word, mobile phones act as an appropriate platform where people can always stay in tough however long the distance is, but a wise man should know when to put down his phone.

10. 作文题目：Internet and the Distance among People

You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.
参考范文： Internet and the Distance among People
　　As we can see from the picture, Internet connects the human society together, but sadly, walls of barrier are estricting people in their own space.
　　It is undeniable that Internet has changed the way people live. With many programs such as instant messaging, online communities, micro.blogs and so forth, communication can nearly be carried out everywhere at any time. But despite the great convenience, we find the distance among people becomes farther, instead of nearer. We play online games and forget to call the family; we sit alone surfing the net with mobile pho
