1. 机遇的偶然性;
2. 机遇和成功的关系;
3. 上帝只会帮助有准备的人。
参考答案：
In our life, opportunities don’t come often. They often come quietly and pass by without being noticed. Some people complain that opportunities are few. They always admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities. Owing to the contingency of opportunities, we should value and treat them with care. Everyone desires for success, but when it comes to the way to success, different people have different opinions. Some people think that opportunity is the first factor leading to success. Almost all successful people have come across some valuable opportunities. It should be noticed that opportunity won’t wait for you all the time. If we can’t notice and seize it, others do. The ways for different people to treat opportunities lead to different results. We must take advantage of opportunities when they come. That means we should be well-prepared all the time, then we can seize opportunities and achieve success. In my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in the society, but not only those who are prepared adequately can make use of them. As the saying goes “God helps those who help themselves.” No matter whether there’s opportunity or not, what we should do is to work hard. Only in this way can we find and seize opportunity when it occurs.

Dear Ms Wang,
I make bold to write this letter to ask you to do me a favor. I have tried to translate several short Chinese stories into English for a part-time job. As it is the first time for me to do a translation work, I think there must be many errors and awkward expressions of Chinese English for my lack of experiences. I sincerely hope that you would read over my manuscripts and correct my mistakes and socialisms. Also could you please give me some other suggestions on my translation work.
Thank you for your help with great respect!
Your faithful student,

You should spend no more than 40 minutes on this task. As part of a class assignment you have to write about the following topic. Millions of people every year move to English-speaking countries such as Australia , Britain or America , in order to study at school, college or university. Why do so many people want to study in English ? Why is English such an important international language? Give reasons for your answer. You should write at least 250 words.
正确答案：I am not surprise when I read in the newspapers that many people move to English speaking countries. I am an engineer in a process control since ten years and I understand the necessity of English language. For example when I read technical English specifications when I meet Japanese industrials to build together some electronic materials or when I go on holidays in Italy where the best way(for me)to communicate is to speak English. Therefore today it"s necessary to learn English and the best way is to study in English as soon as possible when we are at school but also when we have a job. It"s so important to communicate with foreigners because of work. For example: to sell foods in USA to build electronic cards with the Japanese to obtain a certification with FDA(American organization)in order to sell some pharmaceutical products. In fact it"s important for everybody: the workers the visitors the scientists etc...
These are the main reason which explain why so many people go to English speaking countries(the best way to learn)and why English is such an important international language(the communication between many the people over the world).

For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Googles Plan for Worlds Biggest Online Library: Philanthropy Or Act of Piracy?In recent years, teams of workers dispatched by Google have been working hard to makedigital copies of books. So far, Google has scanned more than 10 million titles from libraries inAmerica and Europe-including half a million volumes held by the Bodleian in Oxford. The exactmethod it uses is unclear; the company does not allow outsiders to observe the process.Why is Google undertaking such a venture? Why is it even interested in all those out-of-printlibrary books, most of which have been gathering dust on forgotten shelves for decades? Thecompany claims its motives are essentially public-spirited. Its overall mission, after all, is to organisethe worlds information, so it would be odd if that information did not include books.The company likes to present itself as having lofty aspirations. This really isnt about making money. We are doing this for the good of society. As Santiago de la Mora, head of Google Books for Europe, puts it: By making it possible to search the millions of books that exist today, we hopeto expand the frontiers of human knowledge.Dan Clancy, the chief architect of Google Books, does seem genuine in his conviction that this is primarily aphilanthropic(慈善的) exercise. Googles core business is search and find, so obviously what helps improve Googles search engine is good for Google, he says. But we have never built aspreadsheet(电子数据表) outlining the financial benefits of this, and I have never had to justify the amount I am spending to the companys founders.It is easy, talking to Clancy and his colleagues, to be swept along by their missionary passion.But Googles book-scanning project is proving controversial. Several opponents have recentlyemerged, ranging from rival tech giants such as Microsoft and Amazon to small bodies representing authors and publishers across the world. In broad terms, these opponents have levelled tw、o setsof criticisms at Google.First, they have questioned whether the primary responsibility for digitally archiving the worldsbooks should be allowed to fall to a commercial company. In a recent essay in theNew York Review of Books,Robert Darnton, the head of Harvard Universitys library, argued tha、t because such books are a common resource the possession of us all only public, not-for-profit bodies should be given the power to control them.The second related criticism is that Googles scanning of books is actually illegal.

Practice 3 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Students at schools and universities learn far more from lessons with teachers than from other sources (such as the Internet and television).

正确答案：
【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.

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.

Practice 1Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Living in the College Town. 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】
Living in the College Town In recent years, college towns have been thriving across China as a result of rapid economic and cultural development. Students hold different views on living in these remote areas of their cities.
Many of them loathe the isolation from city life. They complain about the tedious experience of catching the shuttle bus to the outskirts every day. And what annoys them more is that they are detached from normal campus life and they find few teachers to interact with. However, quite a number of students argue that staying away from the bustling surroundings will eventually benefit their academic performance.
As one of the students living in a college town, I have deeply experienced the inconvenience and monotony. Therefore, some measures should be taken so that more attention can be given to the students in the college town. On the one hand, more cultural events and recreation activities can be launched. On the other hand, a closer teacher-student relationship should be established so as to strengthen their communication.

Practice 1Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the topic “The more I learn, the more ignorant I find myself to be.” 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】
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.
