Directions: For this part， you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary？ The first sentence has already been written for you.You should write at least 120 words， and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below：

1.很多人认为有必要举行口语考试，理由是……

2.也有人持不同的意见……

3.我的看法和打算……

A test of spoken English will be included as an optional［component of the College English Test （CET）］. Some people contend that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because we have been told many times that a Chinese student who has been learning English for years cannot communicate with a native English speaker. Sometimes even those top students who excel at grammar and writing skills find their English inadequate to express their thoughts freely when speaking.A test of spoken English will bring the importance of speaking English to the awareness of the college students， and thus help them with their communicating skills.

On the other hand， there are also people who maintain that good reading and writing skills would be enough for the average English learners. College students are already under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden. Also， some students may take the shortcut and only practice the questions according to the fixed format of the test， which will not actually improve their spoken English.

I believe that a test of spoken English will do more good than harm. Since China will continue its policy of opening and reform，the ability to speak fluent English is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the test or not， I shall make all efforts to practice my spoken English in the rest years in college.

I sure you can succeed in the job interview in these ways.

2.提出度假安排建议

3.提醒应注意的事项

I am glad to hear that you will come to see me during the week long holiday. It has been three years since we graduated from our university. I miss you very much. I even can't wait to see you.

I've made a plan for this holiday. As this is the first time you come to Beijing， I think we'd better have sightseeing around it.We can visit some famous scenic spots and historical sites， such as the Summer Palace， the forbidden city， the great wall， etc. We can do some shopping together. There are many splendid markets and plazas in Beijing. The state library is also a good place for us to go. By the way， since lots of people will go traveling in this holiday， it must be crowded on the train. So you should take care of your luggage， bring more clothes with you because Beijing is much colder than Kunming at this time， and don't forget to tell me when you will arrive. I'll pick you up at the airport.

Miss you！2001年12月真题

Directions: For this part， you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic A Letter to the University President about the Canteen Service on Campus. You should write at least 100 words， and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below.

假设你是李明，请你就本校食堂的状况给校长写一封信，内容应涉及食堂的饭菜质量、价格、环境、服务等。可以是表扬。可以是批评，建议，也可以兼而有之。

I am a student of computer science in our university. I am writing this letter to you to show about the canteen service on campus on behalf of some students of our department.

Firstly， we feel we need more varieties of foods served to the students， which means every student can get the food that he thinks suitable for his taste and his pocket money allowance.Secondly， we find it essential to prolong the opening hours of the canteen. A student from a class that ends at 12∶00 noon may reach the canteen no sooner than 12∶30. However， the fact is that the canteen is closed when he gets there. Thirdly， we are greatly concerned with the dining environment. We feel that student diners are entitled to a better dining environment than what they are having now. We do hope that the university authority will look into the problems and solve them.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Student Use of Computers. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline given below：

1.图（略）所示为某校大学生平均每周使用计算机的时间：1990年（2 hours）、1995年（4 hours）、2002年（14 hours），请描述其变化；

2.请说明发生这些变化的原因（可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等方面加以说明）；

3.你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难或问题。

Students tend to use computers more and more nowadays.Reading this chart， we can find that the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply.

In 1990， it has less than 2 hours； and in 1995， it increased to almost 4 hours， and in 2002， the number soared to 14 hours.Obviously， computers are becoming more and more popular. There are several reasons for this.

First， computers facilitate us in more aspects of life. Also，the fast development of the Internet enlarges our demands for using computers. We can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet. Besides， the prices of computers are getting lower and lower， which enables more students to purchase them.

However， there still exist some problems， such as， poor quality， out of date designs and so on. And how to balance the time between using computers and studying is also a serious problem. Anyhow， we will benefit a lot from computers as long as we use them properly.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic It Pays to Be Honest. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese：

1.当前社会上存在着许多不诚实的现象。

2.诚实利人利己，做人应该诚实。

From the mass media and also with our own eyes， we know many dishonest behaviors exist in our society. For example，businessmen sell fake products to cheat their customers； students copy others'homework or download illicit papers from Internet to cheat their teachers； and even worse， some people produce fake medicine that harm the patients. Seeing our society is filled with so many dishonest phenomena， I can't help asking myself what's wrong with us.

When we were very young， we were taught the importance of being honest. I am sure everyone must still remember that story“A wolf is coming”. In the story， the child kept cheating other people that a wolf was coming， but when the wolf really came，nobody trusted his words and he finally suffered his own dishonesty. Also we have heard many stories that people benefit from their virtues of honesty.

So since we have already known being honest benefits both ourselves and other people. Why are many of us still dishonest？ I hope everyone must bear in mind that being honest is the basic quality of human beings and then we won't be afraid of any “wolf”.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic An Eye-Witness Account of a Traffic Accident. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese：

假设你在某日某时某地目击一起车祸，就此写一份见证书。见证书须包括以下几点：

1.车祸发生的时间及地点

2.你所见到的车祸情况

3.你对车祸原因的分析

My name is Li Ming. I am studying at college. A week ago I saw a traffic accident， which is still vivid in my mind. It was at about 9∶00 on Saturday morning， June 15th， when I went out of the university to visit a friend of mine at another university. I was walking leisurely on the sidewalk when I heard a loud crash of two vehicles just at the T-junction about 10 meters away. Two taxis crashed together. It was a traffic accident.

I went up and found that the two taxis were badly damaged.Both hoofs were out of shape. One door of a car was knocked off and lying on the road. One driver was blooding and another was shut in the taxi. Some people were trying to help the driver get out of the damaged car. One man was calling to the traffic policeman station. A lot of cars were jammed on the road.

From the stopping track on the road， it is clear that the two taxis were driving too fast. But it is just one of the reasons. In my opinion， the taxi drivers are eager to take more passengers and make a little more money. On the other hand， both drivers don't show concern for one another. Both of them wanted to run in front of another. Therefore， the accident is inevitable. So far， we should let the drivers keep it in their mind that a little slower， a little safer. Taking care of other's lives means taking care of your own life.

1.简单叙述一下这位同学生病（或受伤）的情况。

3.人与人之间的这种相互关爱给我的感受是……

During the SARS period in this spring， the year of 2003， one of my classmates， Li Ming， was struck down by the virus and was immediately sent to hospital. The news spread quickly on campus.At first， we were terrified and wondered if we were infected too.However， through our government's publicity on mass media， we gradually conquered the fear and set out to try our best to help her.Some teachers provided daily necessities while some students recorded the English class contents for him so that Li Ming could not be left behind. With our care and concern， Li Ming recovered quickly.

Such an incident teaches us a good moral. Our society is full of love， warm and peace， in which people—from man to woman，from individual to individual—lend others a hand. Just like a famous song goes， “the world will turn into heaven only if everyone contributes a little. ” and I do believe that it's my great honor to live in this love-filled paradise！

Just as the old saying goes，“ It is always a pleasure to greet a friend from a far. ” I wish all of you to enjoy yourselves during this trip.

The following is the schedule of the day. The first spot we are going to visit is the Great Wall， the grandest fortification in ancient China. The next sight to look around is the Ming Tombs， which is one of the best-preserved tombs for 13 emperors in Ming Dynasty more than one thousand years ago. In the afternoon， we will go for the Summer Palace， the royal park for Chinese ancient emperors.

Currently we are on the way to the Great Wall. Dating back to the seven century B. C. ， the Great Wall is constructed by respective states for fortifying against invasion of neighboring states. By the reasons of long history and its length， it becomes one of the eight wonders in the world and represents the highest wisdom and crafts. From the top of the Great Wall， we can enjoy a magnificent view of continuous mountains， green trees and blooming wild flowers. It is no doubt that one says：“He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. ”

Above is my introduction to the Great Wall. If any of you have questions， please feel free to ask me at any time.

This is Teachers'Day and a time to be grateful to all teachers.This profession deserves the special recognition and respect. There is no more appropriate time than this to honor you and others in your chosen field. You have my eternal gratefulness. Have a happy Teachers'Day.The whole secret of the teacher's force lies in the conviction that men are convertible. Teacher， who educate children， deserve more honor than parents， who merely gave them birth； for the latter provide more life， while the former ensure a good life. What sculpture is to a block of marble， education is to the soul.

My heartfelt thanks to you， dear teacher. On the voyage of life， you have kindled the light of hope for me. What you have done enriches my mind and broadens my view. On this day I honor you sincerely. No one deserves a bigger thank you than you. One day is hardly enough to show our gratitude.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists？ You should write at Least 120 words following the outline given below：

1.名校校园正成为旅游新热点。

2.校园是否应对游客开放，人们看法不同。

One can always find visitors taking pictures and enjoying the scenery in university campus. During the May Day Holiday，National Day Holiday， summer and winter vacations， many university campuses become popular tourist sites. In my opinion，university campus should be open to tourists.

In fact， there are many royal gardens and parks， all of them obviously better than the scenery in the universities. Why do you think people prefer visiting here with their children？ That is because it is a dream goal for many Chinese parents and young ambitious students. Besides this， as more tourists come to visit universities， these universities can widen their influence as well and they can also make some profit from the tourism.

In a word， I think the university campus should be open to the tourists.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of The Spring Festival Evening Get-Together. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below：

1.许多人喜欢看cctv春节晚会。

2.但有的人认为应该取消。

The Spring Festival Evening Get-Together has been held in China for over two decades， which seems to have been an indispensable company during the traditional New Year's Eve for a great number of people， who appear to be accustomed to enjoying the sights and sounds of a brilliant feast， while gathering with their beloved family.

However， an increasing number of people have voiced different opinions towards it， as more diverse life styles have emerged nowadays. Some prefer to go to a fancy restaurant to enjoy a gourmet meal； some intend to go on a vacation to an incredibly exotic destination for a novel and thorough relaxation；others may have even more post-modern notions， like go hiking， or cycling for entirely new different experiences， forgetting all about the Spring Festival.

To me， the Evening Get-Together is supposed to be here to stay. It may not remain a must for all people， but it can bring us a strong sense of festivity and serve as an alternative among the variety of holiday activities. Besides， with such a gathering， family members will have a perfect opportunity to enjoy more fun and happiness， for nowadays most people are so engaged in their daily businesses that they can rarely find any extra time to stay with their family， which， if not properly adjusted， might add further to the already worsening situation of the values of Chinese families.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Welcome to Our Club. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below：

I do hope that you will enjoy your journey of English study with us. Thank you

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic What Electives to Choose. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below：

1.各大学开设了各种各样的选修课。

2.学生因为各种原因选择了不同的选修课。

3.以你自己为例说明选择什么样的选修课。

Nowadays， there usually exists a wide selection of electives for college students to choose from. However， students have quite different plans for their future so they always end up learning courses based on their own ideas.

Some students may choose to learn a certain course in order to obtain an extra certificate for their job hunting after graduation.Because they assume that some more knowledge could ensure more chances of winning in finding a good job. Others may have their choice made just for fun. They tend to hold the idea that college life could be more colorful if they could widen their knowledge through elective courses.

As far as I'm concerned， I'm inclined to choose electives based on both the value of the courses and the interest of my own.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Recreational Activities. You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline given below：

1.娱乐活动多种多样。

2.娱乐活动可以使人们受益，也可能有危害性。

3.作为大学生我们的看法。

In the era of information and technology， there are all kinds of recreational activities. Some people think those recreational activities are great and necessary， because they can help people relax from the hard work and study. Some of the activities， such as hiking， jogging， can help people relax physically； while some of them， such as surfing the Internet， can help people relax mentally.

However， some people think that so many kinds of recreational activities may have a bad effect on our lives. Some people may not resist some temptations from those activities， and indulge themselves in those activities. At last they are lured away from their study or their work.

In my opinion， we should pay more attention to the advantages of various recreational activities and make the most of them. Meanwhile， we should learn how to use those activities positively， and make them a helpful tool for our development.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Limiting the Use of Disposal Bags. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below：

1.一次性塑料袋曾被广泛的使用。

2.造成的问题。

3.限制使用塑料袋的意义。

Disposable plastic bags were once widely used in China. When we went shopping at supermarkets and departments stores，shopping assistants often provided free plastic bags for our convenience. For a while， life without them seemed unimaginable for most of us.

However， disposable plastic bags do bring severe damage to our environment. Customers usually throw them away after use，and because they are thin and hard to decompose， these plastic products will exist for a long time. This is an immediate threat to our earth and water.

Nowadays， the government has passed relevant regulations for limiting the use of disposable plastic bags: they are not free any more.In some shopping places， in order to invoke the public awareness of environmental protection， plastic bags are offered in a much higher price. As a result， people are changing their behavior: paper and clothing bags that vanished for a long time come back to our daily life.It is true that by limiting its usage， everyone in this society contributes some effort to the improvement of the environment.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Free Admission to Museums. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below：

1.越来越多的博物馆免费对外开放的目的是什么？

2.将会带来一些什么问题？

Nowadays， an increasing number of museums are open to the public with free admission. The reason for it lies in the fact that the government has been attaching great importance to provide more opportunities for citizens to explore and get access to the world knowledge.

However， the opener attitude of museums may also bring some problems as well. For one thing， with more visitors， there is possibility that displays of the museums can get damaged more easily. For another， it becomes a huge economic burden for museums to run as usual without any profit from the visitors.

As far as I am concerned， I am absolutely in favor of this practice. First and foremost， not worrying about the admission fees， ordinary people are allowed to enter the museums to enjoy the displays freely. Moreover， kids and teenagers can learn about knowledge in various domains in a more vivid and interactive way in the museums out of the classroom.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Creating a Green Campus. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below：

1.建设绿色校园很重要。

2.绿色校园不仅指绿色的环境……

3.为了建设绿色校园，我们应该……

It is of great importance to make and maintain a green campus in our university or college. Obviously， a growing number of people are beginning to realize that it is our duty to do that in the present days， since the concept of “a green world” has become the focus of the society.

The idea of “a green campus” is beyond a green environment.To begin with， the development on the campus is to be sustainable and recyclable. Some of the authorities'budget should be on how to reduce the waste. What's more， we'd better be aware of the seriousness of pollution around us. Thus the idea of environmental protection may become a common occurrence in our daily life.

It is necessary that effective actions should be taken to protect our campus from waste and pollution， and hence these activities are to play an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life.Certainly， there is little doubt that further consideration must be paid to our green campuses.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write 6a short essay on the topic Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below：

1.如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视拼写。

2.分析出现这种情况的原因。

3.为了改变这种状况，我认为……

Nowadays， students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study. This phenomenon greatly influences students'writing and brings on worries among teachers.

There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon. First， exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling. Second， some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don't emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching. Last but not least， some students are too lazy to recite words.

Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study， due attention should be given to it. As for me， I think，first， exams should be modified to add some factors into it， which would help students pay more attention to spelling. Then， schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance of spelling.

Finally， for students themselves， they can， through other ways，make them be interested in word spelling. Only by these， can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement on it.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent？ You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.

1.目前不少父母为孩子包办一切。

2.为了让孩子独立，父母应该……

It is nothing unusual to find overprotective parents who help their children in all aspects of life. The question is， are they sure their heart loaded with love will bring good to their children？ Let's look at the real situation of the second-rich generation. Some of them， rather than becoming the second-strong generation， become the defeated generation which is notorious for their life focused on consumption rather than creation.

Because of the changes of education in history， most Chinese parents， though successfully accumulate wealth， don't know much about the right value they should pass on to the new generation. They have tried all that they can to be good parents while neglecting the core value they should address， which is INDEPENDENCE.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Online Shopping. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below：

1.现在网上购物已成为一种时尚。

2.网上购物有很多好处，但也有不少问题。

3.提出我的建议。

Nowadays， with the rapid development of information technology， online shopping has gained great popularity among more and more web users. For example， it is fashionable for youngsters to purchase daily essentials， such as books， clothes，electrical equipment， on some famous website， like Taobao， EBay and Alibaba.

Undoubtedly speaking， online shopping has many advantages.Firstly， compared with traditional shopping， it's very convenient.What you need to do is just clicking your mouse and waiting instead of going out by foot or driving. Secondly， more choices than real store are another attraction to customers. However， in spite of convenience and more choices of online shopping， we cannot turn a blind eye to its disadvantages. Obviously， quality problem is its first disadvantage. It's common that articles aren't so good just as they are described online that customers always buy fake commodities. In addition， it's troublesome and annoying for many customers to make a change when they are not satisfied with what they bought online.

As a college student， I like online shopping but I expect that effective measures should be taken to make it better. Specifically speaking， government should work out strict regulations and rules to prevent unfaithful and unlawful activities of online shop owners.Only by this way， can online shopping become really safe and attract an increasing number of customers.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will by commenting on the humorous saying， “ Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I've done it hundreds of times. ”You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

Sometimes， in our daily life， the easiest thing might be the most difficult thing， as in the case of some people trying to quit smoking for hundreds of times and still making endless efforts without any hope of success. The reason for their failure is their lack of a strong will.

In our modern world， nothing is simple and straightforward.Something might appear deceptively easy at first， but as we proceed on， we will find that it is actually extremely difficult.Therefore， we must take whatever we do seriously and be mentally prepared to make our utmost exertions. When we encounter obstacles and setbacks， we must apply our strong willpower and persevere until we finally succeed.

For us university students， in our academic studies or in our daily life on campus， we might not be faced with insurmountable challenges. But we need to get prepared， right now， to take things seriously， try to cultivate our strong will， and be ready to pursue our goals through persistence and indefatigable will. I believe it's the only way we can achieve our success.

Directions: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic On Excessive Packaging. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below：

1.许多商品都存在过度包装的现象。

2.分析出现这种现象的原因及其带来的后果。

3.为了改变这种状况，我认为……

Wandering at the supermarkets， you could find that the shelves are fulfilled with fancy and excessive packaging goods with high price， especially when festivals approach. Although the government has concerned with that issue， the phenomenon still flourishes.

The reasons can be listed as follows. First， manufactures could benefit from the fancy packaging. Glorious packaging would increase the price to a large extent， from which they can gain excessive money. Second， most of this kind of goods are brought and sent as gifts to their relatives and leaders. Gorgeous packaging would attract people's attention and make the people who buy them have the honor to send them out.

To my mind， excessive packaging is just a waste of resources and money. Most people would throw the package away after they opened it， which would lead to a severe pollution. To prevent the situation， every citizen should be aware of the problem and laws must be made to restrict the manufactures to cut down on luxurious packaging.

1.介绍你的基本情况。

However， since I registered here， the expenses have become a burden for my average family. You know， my parents are both laid off workers， and to make matters worse， my mother has suddenly fallen ill and is expecting a major operation. It will be beyond their ability to finance me through my remaining education. It is now a must for me to help to relieve their financial pressure. So I'm applying to your bank for a loan of 10,000 Yuan.

If my application is approved， all the money will go to my tuition and fees for the coming academic years. I've made a detailed plan to arrange my school life. A part-time job as a family tutor will not be difficult to find and some work-study programs for students like me are also provided in our university. From these sources I will be able to earn more than enough to support myself.I guarantee that I will repay the loan within five years， that is，within two years after my graduation. Please have confidence in me: I have a very good credit record. I would be greatly obliged if my application is granted.

Direction: For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Education Pays. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

The above bar chart clearly shows us education pays in 2011.We see that one with higher education background earns more money weekly than those with lower ones. For instance， the college students with no degree get paid $719 per week whereas those with a Bachelor's degree can earn $1053.

Several reasons， in my opinion， can be identified to account for this phenomenon. To begin with， compared with those with comparatively lower education degree， people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge， more remarkable learning and research ability， greater innovation and most of all， resourceful social network， all of which are essential to a high-income work. Also， the higher one's education degree is，the bigger platform he will have to show his ability. For example，his college， university， or research institute will organize various job fairs for them to communicate face to face with employers.

This phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment.Therefore， substantial education investment should be strengthened while we， as college students， should study harder to build our country and strive for a better life for ourselves.
