P28 Model Paper
Can Man Triumph over Nature?
When people talk of man triumphing over nature, many things come to mind. One thinks of successes in medicine in the fight against disease, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promise held out by advances in biogenetic engineering. On a broader scale, one thinks of man's success in harnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oil to nuclear power.
Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. New forms of
-
disease that are resistant to antibiotics are constantly developing. Burning fossil fuels has led to fears of global warming; while nuclear power has produced dangerous waste that will remain a hazard for generations to come.
However, perhaps to talk of man triumphing over nature is the wrong way to look at the matter. We need to find ways to work with nature rather than forever fighting against it.

Translation : Ex. 2 on P48
Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.

Globalization has great implications for young Chinese. For example, young farmers are moving on a large scale to urban areas to look for jobs. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.
P120 Model Paper
Is Globalization Welcome?
Is globalization welcome? Yes,it is.Indeed,there is much to be said for it.
To begin with,globalization enables corporations to search for the most advantageous locations to buy,produce and sell goods and services.Take the car for example. A certain brand of car may be designed in Germany,a country known for its automobile industry. The cars are then manufactured in China where relevant raw materials and labor are comparatively inexpensive. Finally they are sold in some Asian and Latin American countries where they are in great demand.Evidently the way things are done can benefit greatly companies and countries concerned.
Lastly,globalization helps build a more harmonious world. With the world becoming much smaller and people much closer, there must be more and more social and cultural exchanges. As a result,deeper understanding between nations is promoted and consultation prevails over confrontation.
Does globalization cause problems,then? Yes,it does. However, so long as countries try to globalize in a cautious and judicious manner,many of them can be solved.

The Mobile Phone
A decade ago, the mobile phone was a luxury for only a few.Now it is found everywhere. The rapid spread of the mobile phone is perhaps one of the miracles of modern communications history.
The advantages of the mobile phone are obvious. First, you can carry it around wherever you go. You don’t have to look for a pay phone to make a call when you are away from home or office. Besides, you don’t have to have a notebook for phone numbers as they can be stored in its memory. With a mobile phone, you can even log your computer onto the Internet and send e-mails. What’s more, in remote areas, where it costs a lot of money to lay telephone lines, the mobile phone is a convenient substitute.
Finally, in an emergency the mobile phone can save lives. To take one recent incident, an American woman whose car got bogged down and buried
in heavy snow was rescued thanks to a mobile phone she kept in her car.
However, the mobile phone still has room for improvement. One thing is the battery. You have to recharge it almost every day. If you neglect to do so, you’ll find the signal weak or receive no signal at all. Another thing is the call making a sales pitch. They are an absolute nuisance.
If the mobile phone could automatically receive important calls and filter out the unwanted ones, it would be all the better for us users.
