Part I Writing

1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the

picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and

then express your views on The Importance of Reliability. You should write at least

120 words but no more than 180 words.

正确答案： The Importance of Reliability As is depicted in the picture

above, a teacher dressed in ancient clothes is teaching his student that reliability, a

nation’s treasure, is what makes a man. From the picture we can see that reliability is

a Chinese traditional virtue and should be treasured today. Reliability is the basic

requirement of a man. No one is willing to have unreliable friends. The same is true of

enterprises. If an enterprise isn’t reliable, it will lose more and more customers, no

matter how excellent it claims to be in its advertisements. But nowadays there are

some Chinese companies that exaggerate their products’ quality and functions to

attract customers. Eventually, Chinese people have completely lost confidence in

some Chinese brands such as “Sanlu Milk Pow-der”and so on. Reliability is the

basis on which friendship is built and an enterprise develops. It usually takes much

time and effort to gain reliability, however, it can be gone overnight. So only by

treasuring reliability can people maintain friendship, enterprises gain profit and a

nation have a bright future.

解析：首先描述图片的信息，其次阐述诚信在人们日常生活中的重要性，最后表明“我”对诚信的观点。

Section A

听力原文： Honduran authorities devoted to the protection of children and

teenagers have undertaken a campaign to protect youngsters who beg on the streets. In

the capital of Tegucigalpa alone, the effort has resulted in the rescue of 350 children,

city officials say. The Honduran Institute of Childhood and Family, together with the

police and the district lawyer, carry out operations around the country to rescue the

children and punish the parents. “Many children are used for begging, “ said Nora

Urbina, “Many children are rented and that is precisely what we hope to punish,

because Article 1-70 of the Juvenile Penal Code sets a penalty of up to six years in

prison.” Those children who are rescued are taken to the Honduran Institute of

Childhood and Family and then handed over to their parents with the promise that

their rights will be protected. Parents who allow their children to work in this way

听力原文： Officials say Japan lost its place as the world’s No. 2 Economy to

China in the second quarter, as the island nation’s economic growth was very slow.

Japan’s Cabinet Office said Monday that gross domestic product rose 0.4 percent in

the three months ended June 3, compared with a revised 4.4 percent expansion in the

first quarter. Monday’ s report said export growth slowed and consumer spending

stopped. The expansion was weaker than economists estimated, with their predictions

ranging from 0.6 percent to 3.4 percent. Analysts say China’s economy will almost

certainly be bigger than Japan’s at the end of the year, because of the big difference in

each country’s growth rates. China is growing at about 10 percent per year, while

Japan’ s economy is expected to grow 3 percent this year. 3. How much was Japan’

s economic growth in the first quarter? 4. How many reasons does the news item

mention for Japan’ s slow economic growth?
