1. Travel Alone or Travel with a Companion?1)有的人喜欢独自旅行，有的人喜欢与别人结伴而行2)两种旅行方式的好处3)你更喜欢哪种旅行方式，为什么?Travel Alone or Travel with a Companion?When it comes to traveling way, different people will offer different opinions. Some people like to travel alone, while others prefer to travel with a companion. Of course, everyone has his consideration for his preference.Traveling alone, one can enjoy more freedom. The traveler can arrange his tour as he wishes without the trouble of humoring others. Moreover, traveling alone tend to bring the traveler unexpected surprise, such as making a new friend and enjoying a different scenery. Compared with traveling alone, traveling with a companion has also its advantages. For one thing, the group members can help and look after each other in the journey. For another, traveling with others who have same interest with, you can share costs and experiences with them.As to me, I prefer to travel with a companion. Firstly, we can deal with the possible problems and difficulties in the journey. Secondly, I like to share the pleasure of traveling with others. In sum, both traveling alone and traveling with a companion have their attractions, and you can find the pleasure from either one.2. The Moonlight Clan.1)现在很多年轻人每个月都把自己赚的钱花光，他们被称作“月光族”2)有人认为这是一种时尚的消费观念，但很多人反对这样消费3)我对此的看法是……The Moonlight ClanNowadays, more and more people, especially the young are joining in the army of “the moonlight clan”. These people exhaust their earnings every month without any savings. Many people think this is a fashionable life style, while more other people object to this kind of consumption style.Those who support “the moonlight clan” think that those people know how to enjoy life and have a higher life quality. However, more other people criticize “the moonlight clan”. They say that the consumption habit of “the moonlight clan” is unhealthy and sometimes wasteful. In addit ion, no savings will place “the moonlight clan” in a difficult position in case of unexpected expenses.Weighing these two arguments, I prefer to the latter one. In my eyes, though “the moonlight clan” may acquire temporary satisfaction from their consumption, in the long term, it is unfavorable to their family and career. Just as a proverb says, one should always prepare for a rainy day.3. A Food Poisoning Accident.你的几个同学因食用了从某超市买回的食品而中毒，幸亏及时治疗而脱险。

“预测”一词，在鄙人看来，颇有赌博之味道！因此，首先提醒各位四六级考试的考生，不可盲目地、甚至孤注一掷地在考前“押宝”！所谓“某高人多次命中考试题目”的说法纯属扯淡，此言多为欺世盗名的鼠辈蛊惑愚昧世人之为。

Volunteering actions are of tremendous benefits to both those in need and the society. Olympic Games are a good example. As is known to all, volunteers played an active role in Beijing Olympic Games. Without them, it would be a tough task to hold this un-precedent Olympic Games. Therefore, we can say that it was those volunteers who ensured the success of these games。

总体分析：09年的大作文综合类的很多，比如科技和生活相结合，教育和科技相结合，环境科技生活结合，交通，通讯和生活相结合，这是一个新趋势，大家要引起注意。

小作文综合类也很多，如柱壮图和曲线结合，表格和线图结合，饼图和柱状图，两个柱图结合，两个地图结合。

2009年6月CET4参考答案Part I WritingFree Admission to Museums（满分版）Nowadays, an increasing number of museums are admission-free to visitors home and abroad. The hidden reason behind this is not hard to analyze as there’s a growing awareness for the authorities regarding the urgency of popularization of culture, knowledge and history with every average person in our society. Only with free access to this live ‘database’, can most people fully enjoy what museums could offer to them.However, free admission to museums might lead to some social problems as well. The most obvious problem is that it might give museums a very heavy economic burden which directly impedes the sustainable development of these organizations. As a result, our government has to work out other ways to collect funds from different channels, which might be difficult to operate or control. On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors, some of which might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museums.As a university student, I am in favor of the free-admission conduct. Y et it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it. For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some ‘closed’ days for museums for regular maintenance. Only in this way can free-admission to museums become a long-lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) 阅读答案1. A. He just wouldn’t look her in the dye。

总的来讲，比去年的考试会简单些。

阅读个人认为考T/F/NG题型的数量不会太多，但是会大量出现list of headings题型和summary题型，当然，段落配对题和matching题型也会出现若干题量。

小作文很有可能会出现地图题和流程图，但是不会太难。

特别是流程图的题目难度系数有所下降。

表格和柱状图的考试可能性也会增加。

大作文出现新题的可能性很大，但不会逃脱一下几大话题：教育，文化，社会，环境。

2009年雅思考试趋势预测：移民类议论文雅思写作考试议论文旨在考查考生用英语书面语对某一话题发表观点和阐明观点的能力。

一直以来，移民类议论文的话题熟悉度远高于学术类。

也就是说，移民类考生通常不会无话可说，不像学术类议论文中某些诸如“文化类”的话题让考生一看就瞠目结舌，难以真正体现实际语言能力。

2008年雅思移民类议论文呈现以“移民为本”的出题思路。

话题涉及移民生活的方方面面，尤其以就业和家庭为主流考题。

这一趋势在09年预计会得以延续并有加强的可能性。

以下为09年准备移民类议论文的考生需要重点关注的高频话题类别，和比较具有代表性的几道考题，值得09年的考生重点准备和考前练笔使用。

重点关注话题一：就业问题在目前全球“经济海啸”的大背景下，高失业率和再就业及自主创业的现象无处不在。

如此重要的话题怎会被“紧跟时代步伐的雅思考试”的写作命题者忽视。

Some people think it is better for people to change their career at least once in their life and do different kinds of jobs. Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?In some countries, it is common for women to find a job when their children are young. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?重点关注话题二：养老话题08年家庭成员问题也成为考试一大主流。

这一问题在09年预计会更加集中在养老问题。

因为在全球老龄化严重的今时今日，养老远超出子女教育。

Children have the responsibility to take care of their older family members, but some people say that old people do not need to live with their families because they can be looked after at nursing homes for the old. Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?重点关注话题三：家庭和工作结合话题08年这一话题只出现过一次，而这两者相结合却能有效反应当今时代潮流，而且命题时只需在08年题目的基础上略作改动即可。

Their participation in social practice might strengthen their sense of social responsibility. Their close contact with the working people might help them to apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problem. But many teachers complain that there are fewer and fewer students who pay attention to their study.In my view, it’s an undenied fact that students break the balance between their jobs and studies, especially when they fall into conflict.

First of all, it can broaden volunteers’ horizons in poverty-stricken regions. For instance, it is a golden opportunity for volunteers to experience a completely different life. In addition, college students have to adapt themselves to the harsh living conditions, meanwhile they can make friends with the children.In my view, the future of China’s education depends on the joint efforts of the society, the government and all the citizens.

In some colleges, students are permitted to pick out their course’s professors freely. The reasons are listed as follows:In the first place, students can choose the teacher according to their interests, which will be helpful for their future careers. Besides, selecting courses can reduce the rate of students’ absence indirectly for students usually choose their favorite teachers.As far as I am concerned, every coin has two sides. On the one hand, students may learn the course better, because they may choose the professor they liked. On the other hand, if the professor who is very popular and a great number of students would like to attend his/her course, the classroom must be overcrowded. It will have a bad impact on the class.十、Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter.

一、Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Intelligence- Nature or Nurture? You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:1. 有人认为智力是天生的2. 也有人认为智力是环境决定的3. 如何更好地发展智力【范文】Nowadays, there is no agreement among people concerning intelligence. Some people contend that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. And the closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.However, others maintain that environment plays a crucial role in our intelligence. For instance, if we put two identical twins in different environments, we might send one to university and the other to a factory where the job is boring, we would find differences in their intelligence several years later.Just as every coin has two sides, our intelligence is partly born and partly developed. The sure way to develop our intelligence is intelligent parents as well as a good environment.。

Test 1 Building a Harmonious Society1.为建设和谐社会，有些人主张最重要的是发展经济2.另一些人则主张首要的是保护环境3.我的看法Development in the new century involves building a harmonious society. Faced with this new concept, some people still maintain that the urgent task is to develop economy on a large scale. They hold that many people are living in poverty and can’t afford the basic schooling for their children. And they also believe we can strike a balance between the developed east and the developing west by further developing our economy.On the other hand, there are many people who insist that environmental protection is of first importance. They claim that we have only one mother earth. If our environment is heavily polluted, we could not survive on this planet. Second, they believe that the rapid and advanced development of economy leads to many of the serious problems. If the problem is left unsolved, we may soon have no water to drink, no clean air to breathe, let alone develop our economy.In my opinion, both economy and environmental protection are indispensible. Without economic development, we could remain backward. And without environmental protection, we could lose our chance of survival.Model Test 2 The Battle Against AIDS in China1.中国艾滋病发病情况及传播手段2.结合实际，谈谈如何抗击艾滋病As is known in the chart, there are several transmission routes of newly added HIV infection in 2007, of which, 44.7 percent will come from heterosexual transmission, 12.2 percent from men having sex with men, 42 percent from intravenous drug use, and 1.1 percent from mother-to-infant transmission.Recently, much concern has been stressed on the problem. Both government and the public take the campaign against AIDS in China, which is encouraging. Firstly, it is necessary to make more people informed about AIDS, especially, the transmission routes of HIV/AIDS infections. Second, the Central government should pay more attention to the AIDS. To our delight, the Chinese leadership was strengthening its commitment to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment at different levels of the government. Thirdly, civil societies, as well as businesses, should take a fundamental role in the design and development of the Global Fund to fight AIDS. And more organizations like these are expected to jo in the campaign against AIDS. Fourthly, the work of government, organizations and businesses has been followed by the very high activity of people--- as singles, families, and communities, which are important power against the AIDS.This is an undeclared war that everyone must sign up for in order for us to win. We simply cannot let people continue to die because we don’t feel comfortable talking about AIDS. Everyone must become an educated and learn to live.Model Test 3. How to Get Prepared for a Job?1．现在的就业形势越来越激烈2．大学生应如何面对3．谈谈你自己毕业时找工作时的打算With more and more graduates from colleges and universities every year, job hunting has become more and more difficult. In order to gain an upper hand, it is necessary for us to prepare ourselves when we are still on campus.There are several measures college students can take to sharpen their edges. First, it is important to learn the kind of writing skills that will help us get an interview. Writing effective resumes, letters of application, and interview follow-up letters can give us an edge in the job market. Second, we should have knowledge of the job itself. The job we are looking for should neither be beyond our reach nor should it be too easy. Instead, it should bring your abilities into full play.If I do get an interview, take time to prepare well for it. It could be the most important meeting of my career. Try to anticipate what questions will be asked and have answers ready. Present your best appearance and conduct. As a matter of courtesy, and to strengthen your case, write a follow-up letter to thank the interviewer for the interview.In a word, opportunity will only favor those with a ready mind. We should get well-prepared for the future success.Model Test 4 On National Healthy Living Habits Projects1.目前，人们的生活方式多种多样，“全民健康生活方式行动”是政府关爱民生的重要体现2.不良的生活方式的主要表现形式及危害3.如何解决At present, people’s living habits have become varied and colorful, but at the same time, a large proportion of population still has unhealthy habits, which are harmful to their health. So “National Healthy Living Habits Project” advocated by government is essential and in good time.The negative events like smoking, indulging in liquor, unbalanced meal, irregular diet and lack of exercise, etc. are high on the list of unhealthy living habits. They’re not only do harm to our physical health, but also to our psychology. They may lead to degradation, even crime.Therefore, to improve healthy living habits is significant to everyone, young or old, male or female. Above all, we should set up a positive attitude to living habits. Moreover, enough exercise is necessary in our daily life. What’s more, both the media and the educational system should have strong well-financed programs that encourage healthy alternatives, including exercise and healthy foods.Mode Test 5 On Chinese Workers’ Paid Holidays1.有人认为“带薪休假”有很多好处2.有人认为“带薪休假”落到实处很难3.你的观点及建议In 2007, the Chinese government released a draft that all employees of government organs, civil organizations, enterprises, and public-service institutions are entitled to take paid vacation after serving the same employer for one year. Some have sufficient faith that the paid holidays will improve the current tourism pattern. The new holiday scheme will give people more choices to make their holiday plans and thus it will greatly alleviate the pressure of transportation departments, security bodies, shopping malls, etc. during the current holiday boom.Other people wonder if the new system will be available. It is likely to be a dream to have a paid holiday. Because the problem is that many people don’t dare to take long vacations. Competition is fierce. Nobody can afford a long holiday and leave the boss with an impression of not working as hard as others.For me, I think it is necessary for, in future, the state to issue a regulation concerning Chinese workers’ paid holidays. Strengthen the employers’ sense of the paid holidays. If they did so voluntarily, it will attract and retain employees. With these measures, it is expected that more employees in china are entitled to receive holiday pay for time off.Model Test 6 How to solve the housing problems in big cities1.近年来大城市的住房问题变得愈加严重2.分析原因3.提出解决问题的方法As is known to us, housing problem in big cities has become more serious in the last fifty years, and it is likely to be even more in the future. Not only can a small proportion of the population afford to purchase a set, but also the lot in the city become limited. What brings about it?For one thing, the population on earth is increasing rapidly, and with the development of modern industry, more and more people from the farms are flowing into cities. For another thing, many property companies try to catch profit with high price. Therefore, the housing problem in big cities becomes more and more serious.The building of satellite cities is a good way to solve the housing problem. It will not only relieve the burden on big cities, but also provide a much better environment for people to live. Of course, there is no perfect way to solve the problem. The housing problem is very complicated, involving many other problems like transport. Y ou cannot rely on one way to solve the problem completely.How to solve the Housing Problem1.住房问题的迫切性2.解决住房问题的方法很多，我同意建卫星城3.我不同意解决住房问题向地下发展The housing problem has become pressing. City population have increased very rapidly because of low death rate at birth(mortality) and higher life expectancy. A larger number of surplus rural laborers keep flocking into big cities for part-time jobs.There are many ways to solve the housing problem. I support the idea that more satellite cities should be built in the suburbs. There is plenty of land and space there. In addition, the surroundings in the suburbs are better than those in the city center. The air is fresher there, and the scenery there is more beautiful and attractive. Satellite cities can effectively stop the further expanding and spreading of most big cities, and help reduce the urgent need of residents there for houses.But I am not in favor of the idea that houses should be built under ground. Some people say underground houses have their striking advantages: they can save a lot of land and space, and they are warm in winter and cool in summer. But this idea does not fit all places. For example, our region is below sea level, and underground water will come out after we dig only half a meter deep. Then, it costs a huge amount of money to build underground houses. In addition, the fresh air can’t reach all the underground houses easily. What’s more, lighting will surely be a big headache for underground houses. We should solve housing problems according to the local resources and conditions.Model Test 7 The Popularity of Western Holidays1.一些“洋”节日在中国越来越流行2.一些中国传统节日反倒无人问津3.你如何看待这种现象It seems that some western holidays are getting more and more popular in china. For example, weeks before Christmas, countless shops, restaurants and hotels have got ready with Christmas decorations. However, certain traditional Chinese festivals are being neglected.In fact, the western festivals are celebrated in China quite differently from in the West. For example, Christmas in the western world is mainly a spiritual festival. Then why have the western holidays taken root in China? The chief reason is that businessmen know that they can make money by producing holiday goods or encouraging extra dining and celebrating.I think the popularity of western holidays does indicate the success of the economic reform. Certainly economic development has brought extra money to many people in China. But we shouldn’t waste our money on useless things. So, we should not be led by those profit happy businessmen, rather, we should take the opportunity to relax and enjoy ourselves. Remember that holiday means happiness, not spending.Model Test 8 The Reading Population in China1.描述图中途中所是我国国民读书情况2.分析读书率变化的原因3.你的看法The bar chart illustrates the gradual decline in the number of Chinese people reading books between 1999 and 2005. according to the graph, in 1999, more than 60% of Chinese people practiced certain readings. The percentage dropped dramatically to 54% in 2001, and continued to decrease until 2005 by nearly 6 %, Why do less and less Chinese people read books?The reason may boil down to the following factors. For one thing, Chinese people, especially the young, are now experiencing an unprecedented competition. They are struggling hard to accomplish their daily work, leaving no time and energy for reading. For another, modern society provides various channels ranging from television to the Internet for people to effortlessly get whatever information hey need.Nevertheless, we cannot afford to be blind to the problem of the decrease in popularity of books among people, especially the young generation. To my mind, nothing can equal the benefits derived from reading. In one sense, books are no less necessary to our mental life than air is to our physical life. People should make it a rule to do some reading each day. Time-consuming as it may be, reading will inevitably exert profound influence on a person, a community and a nation.Model Test 9. Advantages and Disadvantages of Advertisements1. 当今世界，广告在公共场所随处可见2. 广告的好处和弊处3. 你的看法Nowadays, it is difficult to find a public place without advertisements. We read ads in the press, see them on the television, and hear them over the radio. Everywhere ads will meet our eyes, even when we watch a ball game, take a taxi, call a friend, etc. The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both positive and negative effects.It is true that in economic activities, advertisements are playing a more and more important role. They tell people about new products and help promote sales. In this way can they stimulate production and vitalize economy.Advertisements also bring people all kinds of disadvantages. For instance, some of the manufactures, in their hope to win a big market for their products, are so dishonest that they are telling lies about their products. People may get rid of ads. Also some advertisements appeal to children, so they ask their parents constantly to buy them something in the ads.In fact, each consumer must evaluate her or his situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.Model Test 10假如你是一名美国商人，名叫David Smith，第一次到中国北京洽谈生意，不幸因病住院，在住院期间，对医护人员的高尚医德，精心服务和医院的环境卫生非常满意，就上述内容写封表扬信。

2009年6月英语四级考前作文范文(五)一、Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Do We Need “Never give up”? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. “永不言弃”一直被认为是一种积极的生活态度，是个人成功的关键因素2. 但是，也有人认为适当的放弃才是明智的选择3. 你对此的看法及理由【范文】Do We Need “Never give up”?It is widely accepted that “Never give up”, a strong and positive life attitude, is the key for individual success on the grounds that permanent persistence may boost our confidence, strengthen our will, and provide us a second chance for success when we are in hardship. However, others argue that sensible abandonment is more precious than blind persistence because the wise one should choose the most suitable area for himself/herself.In my opinion, we need to learn to give up timely. The most immediate reason is that we should adjust our aim carefully in order to go ahead continuously. Sometimes, to give up those unrealistic targets is essential for success. Besides, the attitude “Never give up” exhausts us both mentally and physically. Only through learning to give up can we lead a pleasant and relaxing life. Finally, the temporary comprise means a new start, a beginning bringing new hopes, expectations and opportunities for us.Passive as giving up sounds alike, it represents a more mature and realistic mentality. If those opposing this attitude can take into consideration of its benefits, then this may seem acceptable in our lives.二、Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic How to Solve the Housing Problem in Big Cities?

Accordingly, the housing problem in big cities is becoming much more serious. People in the big city are complaining housing shortage and roaring price of the housing.As we know, the temptation and opportunities provided by big cities attract people who wantto make a fortune in big cities, which is the major cause of housing problem in big cities. Besides, house vacancy and speculating in the housing market are becoming the tough problem. We can’t deny the housing problem has brought about great pressure to the low-income families. M eanwhile, solving this problem will affect the public’s confidence on the government.To solve this problem, I think building satellite cities in the suburbs is more practical. The fresh air and beautiful scenery in the suburbs will pull many people from the overcrowded city and alleviate the pressure of housing.三、Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled How to Eliminate Fake Diplomas? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:目前假文凭现象屡见不鲜这种现象造成的危害我们应该怎么做【范文】How to Eliminate Fake Diplomas?There has been a serious epidemic of fake diplomas in some big cities recently. Usually a certificate of Bachelor’s Degree costs about 200 yuan, which is rea lly cheap compared with the 4 years of hard work and the pretty big sum of fees involved in normal ways of getting the diploma.The victims of fake diplomas are first of all employers, who pay high salaries but do not get real talents. People who have genuine diplomas are also hurt greatly. They have honestly spent 4 or even more years and great energy working hard in schools, but cannot get any advantage in job hunting.To combat the epidemic, practical ability and individual personality should be recognized as important factors of excellent job performance. Besides, effective measures supported by advanced IT technology should be introduced and taken to help employers distinguish genuine diplomas from fake ones.四、谈谈你对选秀节目的看法On TV Show时下电视选秀节目非常流行有人认为选秀很好，能给普通人展示自己的机会我的观点【范文】On TV ShowTV has been one medium of communication that has connected millions. And it is this link that makes talent hunt shows on the tube amazingly influential. Young faces conveying disappointment or even overwhelming joy have become a common sight on as many channels as your remote allows you to surf.Some people have their opinions on the TV shows. The advantages of the shows are clear to some people. For one thing, in terms of business, the increasing popularity of talent shows has helped the channels in generating huge income by way of advertising and promotions. For another thing, the TV shows can make the common people have opportunity to show themselves.Personally, I side with the former opinion. It is a wonderful feeling and a great way to relax for me to watch talent shows and see ordinary people like myself become famous and win cashprizes. As long as talent shows are entertaining and inspiring us, there is great sense in keeping and encouraging them.五、A Letter of Advice假设你是一名大四学生，即将毕业离校，请你根据四年的大学生活的经历给大一新生写一封忠告信：1. 作简单介绍2. 大一新生如何适应大学生活3. 强调学习英语的重要性【范文】A Letter of AdviceDear Freshmen,I, the undersigned, am a senior in the Computer Science Department of Peking University. I would like to say a few words to you, which I hope would be helpful to you.To begin with, the change of ideas is of most importance for freshmen to adapt themselves to campus life. During the middle school days, we usually depend upon our teachers at school and parents at home. However, the life and study on university campus features independence, which is essential to our psychological development. In my view, we had better always bear in mind the idea of independence.What’s more, English learning is a must. On one hand, without CET 4 certificate, we can not get our degree when we graduate from university. On the other hand, when we hunt for job, English level is a deciding factor. Therefore, I do hope that all of you will have a good understanding of the necessity of learning English well.Good Luck to you!Sincerely YoursLi Ming。

2009年第二季度雅思写作趋势预测及备考建议基于多年来对雅思考试命题思路和出题规律的深入研究，以及对09年第一季度雅思考题的分析总结，朗阁海外考试研究中心建议广大考生，在备考第二季度的写作考试时，对以下内容予以关注。

在小作文部分，对于四种常考图形曲线图、柱图、饼图、表格图来说，表格图本身以及和曲线图相结合的组合图的概率最大，在备考的时候，千万不要对大家最熟悉的曲线图掉以轻心，图形越是熟悉，就越体现得出差距，除了对上升、下降、平稳、波动等相关词汇句型进行整理之外，特别要注意在写作条理上，有时候按时间段分割对比描述也是不错的选择，另外在考场上具体写作的时候，小作文中介词、时态和第三人称单数问题一定要留意，因为在小作文写作内容大同小异的前提下，一旦出现这类问题，必然暴露无遗。

而对于表格图，则要避免眉毛胡子一把抓，所有数据从头写到尾，学会挑选极值和突变值，同时把握“项目时间，横纵结合；仅有项目，横向即可”的解题策略，表格图还是可以出色完成的。

而对于两者的组合，无非就是多了最后数据的关联和总结，前面路铺好了，结尾自然就水到渠成了，在此不再赘述。

对于流程图和图画题这两类考试频率相对较低，但是又肯定会考的图形，第二季度还是会继续半路杀出，其中图画题相对出现可能性更大，且除了第一季度已经出现过的地理变迁图之外，对比示意图和选址题，考生一定要予以关注，特别是后者，近年来一直被“雪藏”，很有“重现江湖”的可能。

鉴于流程图和图画题原题重现的可能性微乎其微，故广大考生不必死备范文，将相应的解题招式牢记于心，再配以专属表达这样的独门兵器，就算“中奖”了，也是可以“化险为夷”的。

在大作文部分，教育类话题肯定是一路高歌的，所以按照教学内容、教学手段、教学效果等进行分类素材整理还是很有必要的，对于科技类话题和国际化话题也务必做好准备，在可能会新题辈出的第二季度，这类人类与世界关系的话题必然成为热点，同时在考试题型方面，08年3月1日从多门科目中选出几门讨论重要性这类多选多或者多选一的考题类型很可能还是广大考生所不适应的，所以在备考过程中一定做适应性练习，防止措手不及。
