Please give a brief description of the chart first and then make comments on it. You should write at least120 words but no more than 180 words. Family Spending on Education in China Source: iResearch, Jefferies Education Fever正确答案：Education Fever From the graph above, we can easily observe that family spending on education in China has a steady increase in the past decade, with the number reaching 983 billion in 2013, which nearly triples the number in 2004. Many factors contribute to the ever-increasing education spending, “letting children win at the starting line” being one of them. Many parents spend a lot of money on pre-school education. They try to send kids to the best kindergartens whose tuition fees are much higher than that of universities. Choosing better primary and middle schools also takes money. Normally, students must attend schools within the district where they live. However, many parents prefer to send their children to a better-known school in other districts regardless of the large sum of “donations”. Apart from formal education, parents also pay their children for various after-school programs, from common painting or dancing classes to expensive overseas summer camps. There is nothing wrong with parents’passion for education, but parents should keep in mind that spending more money doesn’t necessarily guarantee a better education for children. Money should be put where it matters most.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文：W: How often did you phone home?M: I used to phone home once a week, but now I make a call every other day.

Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.1．目前不少高校学生的自理能力很差2．产生此种现象的原因是……3．为了提高学生的自理能力，应该……On College Students’ Self-care Ability 正确答案：On College Students’ Self-care Ability Nowadays in China, a problem that is quite prevalent a-mong college students is that many of them lack the ability to take care of themselves. For example, it is not uncommon that a college student takes a week’s dirty clothes back home and let the mother do the washing simply because he/she doesn’t know how to do it. Why is it so? In my opinion, the doting parents should first take the blame. As it is, many parents love their kids so much that they go to extremes to manage every little detail of their kids’lives, without realizing that they are depriving their kids of the opportunity to learn self-dependence. In addition, the students are also to be blame. Even though the family provides an important support and all the care, they should not take everything in their life for granted or even do not bother to learn some basic living skills. In short, to train students to be independent, we need parents to loosen their grip and students to take some responsibilities.解析：这是一篇论说文，要求就“高校学生的自理能力”这个话题进行论述。

TranslationPart I Writing1．For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Importance of Information Security. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.1．很多人认为信息安全很重要2．有的人认为信息不是实物，所以信息安全无关紧要3．我认为……正确答案：As we are living in the information age, we are readily accessible to information of our interests. Because of this, some people claim that it is important to protect the information security to ensure a healthier environment to spread information. This belief, however, is discarded by some others, because they regard information as something intangible and insignificant and there is no need to safeguard it. Information comes and goes: it is too transient to be kept in a safe box. As for me, I think the information security should be protected. First, a lot of information circulating around the Internet is associated with privacy. Once it is leaked out, it would be a detriment to the people concerned. Quite a few Internet-based financial frauds and losses result from the stolen private information Second, if we do not guarantee the accuracy of information, we would open a floodgate for exaggerated and even false messages. Ultimately, we will be confused as to what to believe and which source to trust. In light of these reasons, it is necessary to acknowledge the importance of information security.解析：这是一篇正反观点型的作文，要求考生对“信息安全的重要性”做出正反的论述，并发表个人的意见。
