Should we review traditional Chinese characters or continue using simplified characters? This has been an intensely discussed question for years. The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.

Yes No
Traditional characters, which date back to more than 2000 years ago, have a more beautiful appearance and a more reasonable structure. As indicated by the 親and 愛examples, traditional characters make more sense, convey traditional values and can therefore represent traditional culture. For two millennia, Chinese historical records and classic works were written in traditional characters. To be able to read them and inherit traditional cultures, we need to bring traditional characters back. Politically, it is also necessary to restore traditional Chinese characters. Currently, traditional characters are still in use in Hong Kong, Taiwan and many Chinese communities around the world. Restoring them can contribute to cross-Strait exchanges and national reunifications and unite Chinese people around the world.
In today’s world, efficiency matters most. Traditional characters, which usually have more strokes than simplified ones, are more difficult to learn. By contrast, simplified characters are much easier to learn and use. Over the past 50 years, lots of classic texts have been turned into simplified-character versions, which means simplified characters can also promote and preserve traditional culture. Constant simplification has been a trend in the evolution of Chinese characters. From the oracle bones script of 3000 years ago to traditional characters, the Chinese writing system has always been slimming down for better communication.

写作指南
考生在下笔之前应先审题，明确写作要求：针对“我们究竟是该恢复中文繁体字还是继续使用简体汉字”这一热议话题，首先总结正反方的意见，然后给出个人观点。文章结构可安排如下：
第一段：简要概括赞同和反对恢复繁体字方和提倡使用简体字方的观点，第二段：表明自己的观点：复兴繁体字是不明智的。直击正方观点漏洞，分三点铺陈论证。繁体字在沟通交流上效率不及简体字；繁体字可读性和可接受性不强；保存传统文化和价值并不是只有恢复繁体字这一种方式。
第三段：重申观点——恢复中文繁体字不是明智之举。
The necessity to revive traditional Chinese characters has aroused an increasingly heated discussion for decades. Some in favor of it hold that traditional Chinese characters, with a more vivid and descriptive appearance, is a perfect embodiment of traditional culture and a bond for cross-Straits exchanges and national reunification (复兴).Some are against it for its complexity to write and inefficiency to communicate, which can be otherwise avoided by simplified characters. Besides,simplified characters can also serve the purpose of promoting traditional culture and this simplified writing system is an irreversible (不可逆的) trend.
From my perspective, it's not wise to deliberately / intentionally initiate a renaissance of traditional Chinese characters for following reasons: First and foremost, words and language are tools created for better communication. In this sense, efficiency is of utmost importance if simplified Chinese characters can perform the same function of the traditional ones.
Secondly, readability (可读性)and acceptability are potential barriers / hindrance to the restoration (恢复) of traditional characters. Most of mainland Chinese learn simplified characters from their infancy / childhood. So it will be hard for them to accept a totally unfamiliar word system.
Last,traditional Chinese characters do help cultural inheritance (传承), but it doesn't mean reviving it is the sole (唯一的) way to preserve traditional culture and values.
Taking the above factors into consideration, I think it is unwise to revive traditional Chinese characters.

Term-time holidays will be banned
Parents are to be banned by Michael Gove, UK’s Education Secretary, from taking their children out of school to save money on holidays.
He is to abolish the right of head teachers to “authorise absense” from the classroom, which has been used to let families take term-time breaks, and will warn them they face fines for their children not being at school.
“Any time out of school has the potential to damage a child’s education,”
a senior source at the Department for Education said this weekend. “That is why the government will end the distinction between authorized and unauthorized absence.”
“This is part of the government’s wider commitment to bring down truancy (['tru??ns?]旷课)levels in our schools. There will also be stricter penalties (['pen?lt?]处罚) for parents and schools.”
The tough measures on truancy are part of a wider attempt by Mr Gove to make education more academically rigorous and to tackle a culture in the educational establishment which he believes has accepted “excuses for failure”.
Russell Hobby, the general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said the measure would discourage parents from trying to put pressure on heads to section term time holidays. “ The high cost of holidays outside of term time is still an issue but ultimately a child’s is more important than a holiday, he said.

Which Is More Important, Education or a Cheaper Holiday?
New research has shown that almost four out of ten parents in the UK have taken their children out of school to go on holidays. Cost is the main reason given by parents for sacrificing their children’s education. Parents are to be banned, however, by UK’s Education Authority, from taking their children out of school to go during term time.
Should local authorities stagger school holidays to enable families with children to take advantage of travel bargains? Or is it wrong for parents to jeopardize their children’s education for the sake of a cheaper holiday? As far as I am concerned, education is more important. Firstly, children’s education must come first. A cheap holiday during the school season shouldn’t be the reason to take a child out of school. Some parents are not willing to sacrifice or schedule their lives in terms of their children’s needs. This kind of attitude will influence their children deeply. It’s no wonder so many kids are not interested in school and don’t take their study seriously. Secondly, school isn’t day car e center. It’s an educational institution that needs every student to follow its rules. Taking a child on holiday when school is in session will disturb the order of the school. Besides, it is disruptive for the child, because he will have to catch up when he returns.
All in all,taking children out of school for a cheaper holiday is irresponsible behavior. Those parents would risk being fined financially and morally. It’s not only kids that need to grow up——a lot of parents need to as well.

Write your response on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
With intelligent machines to do the thinking, will our brains get lazy?
Changing technology stimulates the brain and increases intelligence. But that may only be true if the technology challenges us. In a world run by intelligent machines, our lives could get a lot simpler. Would that make us less intelligent?
Artificial intelligence is taking over many human jobs. For instance, planes are being flown much of the time by automatic pilots. And the complex problem of controlling air traffic around large modern airports is also achieved by artificial intelligence that operates well beyond the capacity of mere human air traffic controllers.
Artificial intelligence is embedded in many features of modern life for the simple reason that intelligent machines can already outperform humans, including some aptitudes where there was once thought to be a human advantage, such as playing chess, and writing poetry, or even novels.
As machines get smarter, they will do more of our thinking for us and make life easier. In the future, the electronic assistant will develop to the point that it serves similar functions as a real living butler, fulfilling requests such as: "Organize a dinner party for six on Thursday, Jeeves, and invite the usual guests."
At that point, our long struggle with challenging technologies is at an end. Like Be Wooster, we can take it easy knowing that the hard work of planning and organizing is being done by a better brain-the electronic assistant. Starved of mental effort, our brains will regress.
第二部分：参考答案
Nowadays, many aspects of people’s daily life have undergone considerable changes because of the recent development in artificial intelligence. Obviously, artificial intelligence has already completely renovated people’s lifestyle. On the one hand, the contribution of artificial intelligence to the society is prominent and people’s dependence on it is an irreversible trend. People enjoy the benefits and convenience brought by intelligent machines. On the other hand, people are still concerned about its negative impact, for example, whether our brains will regress with intelligent machines to do the thinking.
In my opinion, artificial intelligence will enable our brains to get more creative. Admittedly, a lot of work has been done by intelligent machines. It seems that the function of people has been weakened and people‘s brains have been replaced. As a matter of fact, thanks to intelligent machines, people can expand their creative energy and add new varieties. Simply speaking, when people are free from tedious, repetitive, sometimes even dangerous work, work efficiency will undoubtedly be improved. As a result, people can spare more time to do what they want and pursue what they dream of, which is the premise of creativity. Moreover, creativity stems primarily from knowledge and thinking. Once people have the opportunity to do more thinking and learning, their intelligence would be enhanced rather than weakened.
Although artificial intelligence is the exhibition of people’s high degree of creative power, it should be noted that it is like a double-edged sword. The sensible choice is to embrace its advantages and cope with the problems it has aroused. This is what an advanced and rational society should be like.

Report Exposes the Dark Side of Conservation
A report launched by Survival International —the global movement for tribal peoples’rights—reveals how conservation has led to the eviction of millions of tribal people from “protected areas”,since “protected areas”like national parks should generally be “no go” for mining, agriculture, dams, roads and pipelines. Survival’s report shows that nearly all protected areas are, or have been, the ancestral homelands of tribal peoples, who have been dependent on, and managed them for thousands of years. But in the name of “conservation”,tribal peoples are being “illegally driven out”from these lands and accused of “poaching”;meanwhile, tourists and fee-paying big-game hunters are welcomed in. Bushman Dauqoo Xukuri from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana said, “I sit and look around the country. Wherever there are bushmen, there is game. Why? Because we know how to take care of animals.”Survival’s report concludes that the current model of conservation needs a radical shake-up. Conservation must stick to international law, protect tribal peoples’rights to their lands, listen to them, and then be prepared to back them up as much as they can. Survival’s Director Stephen Corry said, “Millions are being spent by conservationists every year, and yet the environment’s in deepening crisis. It’s lime to wake up and realize that there is another way and it’s much, much better. Firstly, tribal peoples’ rights have to be acknowledged and respected. Secondly, they have to be treated as the best experts at defending their own lands. Conservationists must realize it’s they, themselves, who are junior partners.”
第二部分：参考答案
With industrialization and globalization,more and more farmlands, wet lands, jungles, forests and wild lands are swallowed in the name of modernization. As a result, large quantities of wild animals are killed or are driven out of their original habitants. The tribal people who used to live a peaceful life in their ancestral homelands have gradually lost their lands and traditional way of life. Facing this situation, Director Stephen Corry of Survival International puts forward two effective measures to reverse this deteriorating trend.
I cannot agree with him more. He has found out the key to the problem that has always puzzled the conservationists.
In the first place, the conservationists should abandon the idea that they are superior to the local people and have come to “save” the land or to “protect” the environment. They should acknowledge and respect the tribal people, including their lands, their culture, their religion, their rights and their way of life. In fact,the conservationists are not leaders or masters in conserving nature.
The next key point is cooperation. The tribal people are a natural and integral part of the natural environment. They are masters of their homelands, knowing everything there perfectly—the stones, the grass, the trees, the streams, the birds, the animals, the weather, and so on. To fulfill the task of conservation, it is essential to recognise the importance of cooperation with the tribal people, taking them as equals, partners, and even teachers.
Only in this wa y, can the obstacles facing the conservationists be removed and the situation of conservation be improved.

The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don' t go. But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don' t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other' s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn' t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can' t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either. Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn' t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up. 1.According to the author, ___.

Topic 1 网络对生活的影响 The Internet-A Blessing or Curse? Nowadays college students often use the Internet for study,shopping, entertainment, and many other things.Some people say that the Internet facilitates students' lives,but others worry that it might affect students' study.In my opinion,the Internet is good for college students when it is used appropriately. The Internet is good for college students.First, students can collect many kinds of information via the Internet.When students find something interesting in the book,but their teacher cannot give them more details or answer all their questions in class,they can search the Internet after class to find the details or answers by themselves.Second, the Internet keeps students updated with what is happening all over the world.Just by browsing the web-page,students can read a lot of news.They can also type on some key words to search and follow any affair on the Internet.They don't have to search piles of newspapers and thus save much time for study. In one word, the Internet facilitates students' lives when it is used reasonably.Now more and more college students are becoming aware of the convenience and the importance of using the Internet. Topic 2 电子词典VS 纸质词典 Will Electronic Dictionaries Kill Printed Dictionaries? Many people today prefer to use electronic dictionaries rather than printed ones, because electronic dictionaries are much lighter and smaller and easier to be taken everywhere. Some people worry that printed dictionaries may disappear one day. But I believe that electronic dictionaries will not kill printed ones. First, printed dictionaries are much cheaper than the electronic ones. Many students, who use dictionaries most often, can hardly afford an expensive electronic dictionary. Therefore, the printed ones are exactly what they need. Second, scholars prefer printed dictionaries to electronic ones. Holding a thick, heavy dictionary is what a teacher used to do,and I believe that they will like to keep this habit. Third, only the printed dictionaries can be collected into libraries or be put on our private bookshelves.We may use an electronic dictionary very often, but we will never collect it, since it's designed to be used, not to be collected. Of course electronic dictionaries will be more popular in the future, because they are really convenient. But the printed ones are still needed and will not be replaced. The two kinds of dictionaries are just complementary to each other. Topic 3 对工作应持何种态度？ Work as a Part of Life Some people regard work as the goal of life and spare no pains to pursue a fulfilling career. Others regard work as a means to achieve the value of life, emphasizing the meaning and significance of life itself.I think work is just a part of one's life. To work means to live, and to live must involves work. First, when one works, he also lives. There is not a period of time when one is only working but not living. Therefore when one works hard and feels happy about his achievements, he is also living fruitfully. There is no need to say that he just "lives to work". Second, it is impossible to imagine a life without work. Marx once said that work is the basic need of the human race. Work

Should College Students do Part-time Jobs? In many countries it is common for teenagers to take part-time jobs while they are still in high school, while in other societies this is virtually unheard of. In the latter situation, students are expected to spend all of their time on their studies and consider schoolwork their "job". In my opinion, students benefit more from a more balanced lifestyle, which may include working at a part-time job. Therefore, I believe that it is a good idea for students to work while studying. While it is true that a student's most important goal must be to learn and to do well at his studies, it does not need to be the only goal. In fact, a life which consists of only study is not balanced and may cause the student to miss out on other valuable learning experiences. In addition to bringing more balance to a student's life, part-time work can broaden his range of experience. He will have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and will be faced with a wider variety of problems to solve. Furthermore, work helps a student to develop greater independence, and earning his own pocket money can teach him how to handle his finances. Finally, a part-time job can help a student to develop a greater sense of responsibility, both for his own work and for that of the team he works with. For all of these reasons, I firmly believe that most students would benefit from taking a part-time job while they are in high school. Of course, they must be careful not to let it take up too much of their time because study is still their primary responsibility. In sum, living a balanced life is the best way to be successful. How To Achieve Team Work Experience is the best teacher," people say. Indeed, the most important, and sometimes the hardest, lessons we learn in life come from our participation in situations. For my part, you can't learn everything from a book. And only practice makes you a successful person. To begin with, first-hand experience is important for a child. When we were children, we learned the fundamental lessons of life solely from experience. That is to say, parents teach us by experience such as how to walk steadily, how to cope with the adults, and so on and so forth. Secondly, first-hand experience is also important for an adolescent. At school, we do not learn everything from books, in that few books can teach us successfully how to meet new people and make more friends. Finally, as we leave adolescence behind and enter adult life, no book can teach us how to fall in love and get married. But experiencing our own triumphs and disasters is really the only way to learn how to live a successful life. To conclude, knowledge gained both from experience and from books have their respective roles to play in our life. However, in my view, I think the former one is more important than the latter one. The most important lessons can't be taught; they have to be experienced. Living in University Dormitories or Apartments in the Community? I think it is better for college students to live on campus during their first two years, and then
阐述健康在生命中的重要性 [题目]Health and Life As the saying goes，you don’t know what happiness is until you lose it’ you don’t know what health is until you are ill. “Health is of vital importance to life” sounds like a cliche to everyone，but it is absolutely true. The negligence of the delicate balance of your body and soul，the harmful habits such as smoking，excessive drinking and burning mid-night oil will catch up with you someday. How many big plans are interrupted by bad health! Even a normal life is unimaginable without the guarantee of health. How to keep fit is an eternal topic of diversity and controversy. Regardless of all the different suggestions poured from all kinds of sources，one should do at least two things for him/herself.
