参考答案：
Renting an Apartment off Campus Nowadays, an increasing number of college students would rather rent an apartment off campus than live in a dormitory. This phenomenon has raised considerable concern among parents and college faculties about living off campus, which is caused by the following reasons. To begin with, living conditions of an apartment off campus may be better than those of a dormitory. A rented apartment is often equipped with an independent washroom and a shower equipment which may be of great advantage over the school dormitory. In general, a typical dormitory often accomodates four or six, or even eight students and it is too crowded and noisy for those who prefer private space as well as quiet circumstances. In addition, instead of being regulated by dormitory rules, students may enjoy more freedom in a rented apartment. If college students intend to rent an apartment, I think they should give top priority to safety. It is important to make a survey of the surroundings first to ensure the security. Besides, when they tend to enjoy the freedom, they should have a better sense of self-control and make good use of their time.

Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should College students Get Involved in Stock Markets or Not? You should write at least 140 words.
正确答案：
Should College Students Get Involved in Stock Markets or Not? Affected by people’s madness about stock market, an increasing number of college students throw themselves into this market. Concerning this phenomenon, people have different opinions. Some hold that it is rewarding for students to be involved in stock market. On one hand, they may earn some money and learn to manage money. However, others claim that getting involved in stock market may bring disastrous effect on college students, both economically and psychologically.
As far as I am concerned, students shouldn’t get involved in stock market unless they are fully prepared both in financial ability and in knowledge. Since there is a high degree of risk in the stock market, the money students invest are mainly from parents for their living. Without it, how can they deal with everyday life? Furthermore, with no basic knowledge about stock market, anyone is prone to failure. All in all, the principal work of college students is not getting involved in stock market.
点评:文章第一段就最近很多大学生参与到股市中的现象支持和反对的观点进行阐述。第二段是作者的看法。作者认为大学生在经济和知识方面都准备好之前不应该投身股市,因为大学生经济还没有独立,没有具备基本的股市知识的话注定会失败。

【参考范文】
Rapid development of technology provides convenience and freshness for many aspects of people’s life, including education. Nowadays, students become more reliable on computers for research and are often asked to hand in a perfect paper by schools. Others even have decided to give up the original way of learning and to obtain knowledge through online institutions. These changes in learning and teaching methords have aroused a special concern regarding the fading of teacher s’ giving lectures in classrooms.
Some people observe that compared with that of an original classroom, the role of teachers is beginning to drop because computers can help students study faster. For example, in the classroom, most of students’ intellectual capacities can not be activated, and thus some would be confined to a slow advance in their studies because of others' lower capacity of understanding. However, thanks to the new study mode, pupils could progress in their acquisition of knowledge at their own pace.
The presence of teachers, however, is essential for students because human interaction plays positive and significant roles which can hardly be replaced by the cold machines. Firstly, from teachers, students can gain more than mere knowledge in the textbooks. They can cultivate their interest in certain subjects and establish emotions with students and teachers. They can learn the importance of communication through working in a group and how to respect other students. Furthermore, it is necessary to have teachers in the learning process to learn students' deficiencies and help them solve their problems by repeating explanations, giving extra instructions or even suggesting a tutor. Hence, students can have a bigger chance of passing exams.
To conclude, although computers and the Internet do brings convenience and speed, the role of teachers in the learning process is still very important and it will continue to be in the future because machines cannot replace human interaction.

The Importance of Higher Education The contemporary society has seen a trend of discordance in education. Many college students graduate only to find that they earn much less than their bosses who even have never entered colleges. However, higher education is still valuable for students.
Most importantly, higher education is the source of expertise. Every industry in the society is built on the professional knowledge. If all the staff is poor-educated, who can we depend on to make profits? Colleges can equip students with the most useful and systematical theories. Further, the academic environment in college will provide students with a better opportunity to develop healthy bodies and hearts. What they need to do is to read more and think more for their own pursuits. Thus, they can be stronger to confront the extreme thoughts that may destroy their righteous beliefs in the future. Lastly, good friends and teachers from colleges will help students form right outlook on life and values, which will also benefit their future career.
In summary, higher education will set students a higher start in the future career. If you can not see it now, wait and see that how the better are separated from the good.

Practice 5Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “Is Space Worth Exploring?” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
正确答案：
【范文】
Is Space Worth Exploring? With the development of science and technology, space exploration has greatly advanced. We could watch the exciting news from TV and read the latest achievement in this field almost every day. As human beings, we are so proud of our work.
Yet, not everyone has the same attitude towards this issue. Some people think we could use the money and resources to find out ways to relieve the suffering of the earth’s starving millions. It has also been felt that the space might lead to the development of space weapon, which may cause the destruction of earth. Despite these disadvantages and potential dangers, the advantages are far greater. Our daily life cannot be without the results of the space science. We use satellites for communication, weather forecast and oil exploration. Some problems may be solved with further exploration. For instance, with the success of space shuttles and the feasibility of living on other planets, we may solve the population problem on earth. Space projects will also enable us to find new sources of energy to solve the energy problem and discover new chemical elements to cure some incurable diseases.
So in my opinion, space exploration contributes a lot to the improvement of the quality of human life. We will have better life with the advances of the space exploration.

Practice 1Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “Success is something most people try to achieve.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
正确答案：
【范文】
At the mention of success, different people maintain various views. Some hold that wealth is the only criterion on account that without money you can’t live a decent life, and that the more money you possess, the happier you will be. Some however, regard fame as a symbol of one’s achievement, in that the social recognition is the value of each individual because people will respect you if you are in high social status. In my personal point of view, the achievement of self-value decides whether his or her life is successful.
Maslow’s famous theory has pointed out that human needs are divided in to different levels. Once the lower level has been achieved, we begin to seek higher needs. Money, which brings us basic needs of life, only produces physical comfort. Social needs are higher, because respect and recognition are indispensable for us social animals. But the highest need we pursue is the self-value, which is through work or other things we do, we feel we are needed and contribute our efforts to the society. This has nothing to do with which social rank we are in.
So whether one person is successful or not does not hinge on his wealth and fame, for the accomplishment of self-worth is what we should focus on.

【范文】
The More I Learn, the More Ignorant I Find Myself to Be As soon as I was enrolled in college, I felt a big burden off my mind. So did my classmates. We just wanted to relax. But at our first English lesson on how to improve our study the teacher told us, “There is no end of learning. The more you learn, the more ignorant you will find yourself to be. The only way you can do is to work hard to learn more.”
The teacher’s words awaken me and remind me of the ignorant few who claim to have all of the answers to man and life but know less than you or I, and who, with their hands held up high, offer everything you may have wanted to know about life itself, but when pushed and pried knowing nothing but what they are told. Now I am a postgraduate, and life has taught me too many harsh lessons. The more I learn and experience, the more I realize how little I know. Therefore, bearing in mind the motto that there is no end of learning, I keep on my studies. I do not only learn from the books, but also from experiences, as practice makes perfect.
For all of my efforts, I am fully aware how far I am away from the sea of knowledge. The more I learn, the more ignorant I find myself to be and the more I feel the need to learn. Art is long, and life is short.

正确答案：
【范文】
My View on the Use of Cell Phone among Teenagers It is usual if you notice a teenager in a school uniform speaking through a cell phone on the street.
It is very convenient to have a cell phone at hand. In the event of an emergency, they can call their parents or teachers or even the police for help by cell phone. They can send text messages to their classmates exchanging ideas or seeking assistance in their learning when they are away from one another. And their parents will not be very worried as it is rather easy for them to contact their children and check their whereabouts and what they are doing by cell phone.
However, some teenagers might indulge themselves in showing how fashionable their cell phones are to their peers. Such behavior might prove contagious and soon other users will be tempted to pester their parents for a showier new model of cell phone. What is annoying to teachers is that the ringing of cell phones will easily disturb the class if some of the students forget to switch off their cell phones in class.
In conclusion, parents should think twice before they buy a cell phone for their children at primary or secondary schools.

正确答案：
【范文】
Which Is More Important: Wealth or Health? In today’s society, many people think wealth is the symbol of success. So some people take the goal of becoming rich as their aim in life. They are crazy for making money. On the contrary, others think health is more important. In balancing the two, I have every reason to accept the latter.
At the first place, good health implies a long life. A man in good health could live a happy life. Next, people usually turn to healthy man for help. Finally, good health brings people great wealth. While big fortune sometimes causes trouble, a man with big fortune who fears of being robbed trusts nobody. What’s more, some evil people want to cheat rich men out of money. Furthermore, many things exist around us that can’t be bought by cash, such as, friendship, love, health and etc.
Therefore, I think good health is more important than wealth. We can do nothing without good health. If we have good health, we can do what we want.

Practice 1 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Multi-cultural societies, in which there is a mixture of different ethnic peoples, bring more benefits than drawbacks to a country. To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.
正确答案：
【参考范文】
As a popular slogan goes, The whole globe is just a meter away. With the development of technology, the entire world shrinks into a village in a few decades, which brings about more clashes among people from different races. Someone pushes the so-called solution forward that it is better to divide people into groups according to races. However, this can never solve the problem but only aggravate it.
Admittedly, living in a multi-cultural community with full freedom and without any restriction is a nightmare for everyone indeed. The racial conflicts and residential differentiation would be a huge barrier for all the residents living together. However, if they can do everything cautiously by taking the cultural differences into account, living in this kind of surroundings will offer a great opportunity to enjoy much more communication worldwide in one's short lifetime, which will attract countless people to look forward to the multi-cultural life experience.
Obviously, among all the benefits of multi-cultural society, the following two reasons should, at least, be specially mentioned: First, The colorful and diverse community can deepen the understanding between one people and another. In other words, if people plan to imitate others' custom or behaviour, it is better to understand it before their copying it. Second, it is a shame and inhumane for all modem citizens to discriminate anyone living in any circumstance. In fact, all the people are nothing but simply and most importantly, all creatures have the equal right to live on the earth, so it is not necessary to hold some stereotypes against others. Multi-cultural society is a remarkable stage in history, and more likely it is warfare against the Racism, which will finally succeed without any doubt.
As is mentioned above, racism and multi-culture are contradictory with each other, which should be sensibly solved. As capable human beings, we may regard others’ lifestyles improper, but we should respect them no matter whether we like them or not.
