Part I Writing
【审题】
本次作文题是一篇议论文。讨论博物馆免费开放是出于什么目的，而免费开放后又出现了哪些问题，表示自己的看法。这个题目贴近我们的日常生活，考生在细心审题后都是有话可说的。在作文时要注意以下几个要素：首先，文章要紧扣主题的“目的”，条理要清楚。其次，将博物馆免费开放后带来的一些问题，有代表性的，有针对性的展示出来，并将自己有建设性的看法清楚地表示出来。注意语言的连贯性。
【范文】
Free Admission To Museums
Recently, museums in mounting numbers become admission-free to the public both home and abroad. The purpose of this practice is to offer more opportunities for citizens to explore and get easy access to the world of history, culture and knowledge.
Although free admission to museums enjoys distinct advantages, it also brings harmful effects. In the first place, these valuable cultural relics displayed may be damaged or destroyed consciously or unconsciously by the crowds. In the second place, it becomes a huge economic burden for museums to run as usual without any profits from the visitors.
It is my view that free admission to museums is of utmost significance. For one thing, we should appeal to our authorities to legislate strict laws and regulations to protect these museums. For another, we should cultivate the awareness of people that museums are extremely vital to us humans. It is high time that we attached great importance to our motherlands’ splendid and glorious culture of more than five thousand years.

many friends.

do? He really is pasted.
W: He is all alone, isn’t he?
M: Yes, his wife has been dead for years. They had one daughter, Dories. But she went off to
town as soon as she left school. And he hasn’t heard from her since. I hear she is making good
money as a model.
W: Maybe someone could get in touch with her. Get her to come back for a while to help?
M: I don’t suppose she come. She never got on with her father. He is bit of a tough character and

W: Are you his doctor?
M: No, my partner doctor Johnson is.

Section B
Passage One
Attracting and feeling wild birds are entertaining activities that have long been enjoyed by people all over the world. Feeding birds has become so popular that prepared feed mixtures are readily available. We feed birds for many reasons. Many pleasant hours can come from watching birds. A hobby often develops into a serious study of their habits. Accurate identification of birds is usually the first goal. But observations that an amateur bird-watcher can make are really limitless. There is, however, responsibility associated with birds feeding, including a disease hazard. Attracting numbers of birds continually to the same spot can be harmful to them, particularly species that pick food from the ground contaminated by the droppings of other birds. In winter feeding efforts are most satisfying to people and are of greatest benefit to birds. During this time when fewer natural foods are available and air temperatures are lower, extra feeding can keep a bird warm and well. Once begun, feeding should never stop during these lean months. If you start a local increase of birds, be prepared to what may be required to eliminate hazards to those you want to be friend. A constant supply of food should be given until the cold is over and spring has come. If feeding is stopped during severe weather, birds used to relying upon the feeders might starve.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What does the speaker say about bird watching?
27. What does the speaker say about birds fed continually on the same spot?
28. What does the speaker suggest we do in feeding birds in winter?

Passage Two
My friend Leo makes up weak and poor excuses whenever there is something he doesn’t want to do. Just two weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn’t want to go into work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires put on his truck. Then he sat down and watched TV with me. Not only had he lied but his excuse wasn’t a very convincing one. Another time, he cancelled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck. She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized. Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet. He’d promised he’d help me move some furniture from my parents’ house to my new apartment. He was supposed to bring his truck over about 8 o’clock Saturday morning. I waited, and then called and left a message on his machine. About 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he’d been getting a new set of tire put on his truck. I guess he’d forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house. I think I need a set of friends. I’m beginning to get tired of Leo’s excuses.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What does the speaker tell us about his friend Leo?
30. What did his girlfriend do when Leo canceled a date with her at the last minute?
31. What favor did the speaker ask Leo to do last weekend?

Passage Three
In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor. For Hollywood kids life can be difficult because they grow up in such an unreal atmosphere. Their parents are ambitious and the children are part of the parents’ ambitions. Parents pay for wasteful grand parties, expensive cars and designer clothes. When every dream can come true, kids don’t learn the value of anything because they have everything. A 13-year-old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver, credit cards and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants to. “One day, I’ll earn more than my dad!” he boasts. Parents buy care and attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves. Amenda’s mother employs a personal trainer, a bodyguard, a singing coach and a councilor to look after all her 15-year-old daughter’s needs. Often, there is no parents at home most days, so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants, when to watch television or do homework. They organize their own social lives. They play no childhood games. They become adults before they’re ready. Hollywood has always been the city of dreams. The kids there live unreal lives where money, beauty and pleasure are the only gods. Will children around the world soon start to thi
