Direction: For this part, you are allowed to write a short essay on the topic Celebrities as the Products’ Spokesmen. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

题目：Celebrities as the Products’ Spokesmen

写作提纲：1. 明星代言现象很普遍。2. 明星代言广告存在一些问题。 3. 我的看法。

Celebrities as the Products’ Spokesmen

In the contemporary society, it is very common for celebrities, or the so-called superstars, to be spokesmen or representatives for a wide variety of products. Celebrities’ advertisements can be easily found on the Internet, televisions, newspapers, magazines and even on the walls of some buildings.

There are, however, some problems for celebrities and the consumers. To begin with, before representing, a star may know nothing about the product. Thus, consumers may be misled. Even worse, for the sake of money, some stars advertise for items with low quality, even for fake commodities. In the case of Sanlu, the public image of stars involved was spoiled. Last but not least, the high income of advertising does not deserve their labor, which widens the gap between the poor and the rich.

From my point of view, it is high time that measures were taken to eliminate the demerits. Firstly, laws should be worked out to regulate celebrities’ advertising. Secondly, stars should be required to tell the truth to the public. Only by doing so can stars be trusted by their fans and can consumers benefit.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Certificate Craze on Campus. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

题目：Certificate Craze on Campus

写作提纲：1．近几年大学校园内出现“考证热” 。2．产生这一现象的原因。3．你的看法。

Certificate Craze on Campus

In recent years, getting a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Almost every student is working hard on campus, preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear?

There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. First, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualificati ons for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.

From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certificati ons

blindly is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Salary or Interest？You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

题目：Salary or Interest？

写作提纲：1.有的人找工作的时候选择兴趣，有的选择工资。2.你的看法

Salary or Interest

Upon graduation，college students often confront the problem of the career choice. Students’ opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that priority should be given to their interest in jobs，but others take the attitude that salary is the most critical factor influencing their career choices. It is truly a tough choice.

As for me，I prefer the latter view. A well paid job exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people，with no exception to me. Instead of interest, salary counts most when I choose my future career. In my view，our career choices largely depend on how and where we have been brought up. I come from a poor urban family and my parents were both laid off workers. In order to finance my tuition，they have been working hard over the past four years. As the only son in my family，I have to shoulder the burden of supporting my family. In short，salary is the first and only consideration in my choice of career.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Credit Cards. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

题目：Credit Cards.

提纲：1. 越来越多的人使用信用卡，信用卡有哪些好处？2. 信用卡的弊端。3. 你自己的观点。

Credit Cards

Personal credit cards are becoming more common in China. Banks and other financial institutions are encouraging their customers to change the way they buy things. Credit cards, otherwise known as “plastic money”, are being offered on very good terms to encourage the change. Consumers will be able to “buy now, pay later”, and ma ny see this as an advantage.

But people need to be careful. There are dangers associated with credit cards. Some people find it very easy to exceed their budget. They are tempted to purchase goods that they do not really need, and can become quickly overburdened by debt. The credit cards often charge a high rate of interest, which exacerbates the problems for these people.

However, credit cards can improve the quality of people’s lives if it is used wisely. They can give people access to money to meet sudden unplanned expenses. Properly handled, they can let people control their expenditure and the monthly statements provide a record of where their money has gone. Therefore, credit cards should be used carefully instead of carelessly.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Ex travagant（铺张的，浪费的）Spending on College Campus.You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

题目：Extravagant Spending on College Campus.

提纲：1. 据调查显示，现在大学生每月的花销越来越高，很多大学生花钱如流水，没有节俭的概念。2. 分析产生这一现象的原因。 3. 我的看法

Extravagant Spending on College Campus

According to a survey, in recent years the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise. Many college students spend money like water and have no concept of thrift（节俭）in their mind. They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter into the society. This extravagant spending is mainly caused by the following factors.

First of all, nowadays most of students are the only children of their families. They are the apple in their family's eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money. Secondly, with the improvement of living standard, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children. Thirdly, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tends to need more money. Finally, campus love is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.

From my point of view, a college student, as a pure consumer, should learn to be thrifty. We should limit our expenditure on daily necessities, and should not buy whatever we want regardless of their prices. The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Is Stress a Bad Thing?You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

题目：Is Stress a Bad Thing?

写作提纲：1.有人害怕压力，认为压力是件坏事。2.有人认为压力并不是坏事。3.我的看法。

Is Stress a Bad Thing？

In the past few years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive. They are afraid that the stress and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally.

In fact, how ever, stress isn’t the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Above all, unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. Furthermore,

people under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth—the very aim of a human life.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic How People Spent Their Holidays You should write at least 150 words following the table and outline given below :

下图所示为1994年、1999年和2005年某城市人们度假方式的情况，请根据该图以How People Spent Their Holidays

要求：1.

3.得出你的结论或者对此现象进行评论

How People Spent Their Holidays

As can be seen from the table, the past decade have witnessed dramatic changes in the way people spent their holidays between 1994 and 2005. In 1994, 63% of people spent their holidays at home, while the figure dropped considerably to 24% in 2005. It is obvious from the table that people tended to be more and more mobile, and they wanted to get entertainment in the outside world.

What contributed to these changes? I think the reasons are as follows. To start with, with the rapid development of economy, people earn by far more money than they used to. Thus, people are able to afford traveling expenses. Secondly, people think it important to get well-informed about the outside world in this new era when everything is on the move. Traveling, of course, is a sure way to achieve this goal. What’s more, in this competitive society, people are usually under great stress, and traveling is an effective way to relieve people’s stress and get relaxation. Last but not lea st, by traveling outside, people are close to nature, which is beneficial to both their health and peace of mind.

In conclusion, people prefer to go traveling rather than stay at home during holidays for a combination of reasons. Moreover, it seems that this trend will last in the foreseeable future.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic My opinion on Campus Love.You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below :

The topic:My opinion on Campus Love.

Outline: 1. Some people are strongly against campus love, but Some people accept it.

2. My opinion on Campus Love

My opinion on Campus Love

Campus love isn't a newly-born phenomenon. Some people are strongly against it while some others think it's natural. I don't advocate it. The reasons are as follows.

First of all, undergraduates are neither fully psychologically mature nor able to assume the responsibility. Second, they may indulge in it, and thus dilapidate their study, which isn't rare. Third, some just take advantage of it to kill time, avoid boredom with much time at their own disposals, have someone keep company, etc. What's more, some change dating "partners" frequently, which leaves a bad impression, such as lacking the sense of responsibility, on others, especially their former sweethearts. Last, the proportion of successful couples is too low. The overwhelming majority reach the same end--parting just before graduation, forced by reality, etc.

So, look before you leap, discard campus love and make a wiser decision after graduation.

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Attend Your Classes Regularly.You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below :

题目：Attend Your Classes Regularly

写作提纲：1. 大学校园里，迟到、早退、旷课是常见的现象；

2. 保证学生的出勤率对大学教育的重要性；

3. 作为一个大学生应该怎样做？

Attend Your Classes Regularly

Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes. And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over. Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers.

In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly. First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning. That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study. Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers, too. Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in turn, will affect their teaching and be no good for the students. Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the future.

Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on. And some day we’ll benefit from it.

题目：Craze for Civil Service Examinations

提纲：1. 现在有越来越多的大学毕业生报考公务员。2. 引起此现象的原因。3. 你的看法

Craze for Civil Service Examinations

Every year hundreds of thousands of people in China take civil service exams conducted at various levels in the hope of becoming government employees. Among them, college graduates are a fast-growing force. The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to liberal arts majors, as it’s also gaining popularity among science and engineering students。

In the final analysis, this growing trend is mainly attributable to two factors --- ambitions and comforts. On the one hand, many ambitious college graduates view these exams as a springboard to a higher social status, greater power and prestige. On the other hand, as being a civil servant generally means a stable income, enviable healthcare and pension programmes, as well as other comforts of life, it’s quite an appealing career option to many people, especially in this age of sluggish world economy。

Personally, the desire to be a government official is beyond reproach, as the nation and the people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors. The

fresh-faced college graduates, armed with lofty ideals, new vision, and strong drive, are undoubtedly among the best candidates.

Unit 1 Sample 1 It is believed that pessimism often leads to hopelessness, sickness and failure, while optimism usually brings happiness, good health and success. Pessimists also make those around them very miserable. Therefore, pessimists should change their way of thinking and overcome the negative aspects of their personalities. Here are a few tips for them: 1. Try to smile more often. A smile has great power. It can chase sadness away. It will make you and other people feel happy. And it may even make things easier and better. Smiling in the morning makes a good beginning for the day. A smile is the most important sign of optimism. 2. Build up your self-confidence. Try to discover as many of your personal strengths as you can. Then write them all down. Read them several times when you are getting ready to do something or when you are facing difficulties. Your list will help you see your abilities. 3. Change your way of thinking. Don't always think that things will go wrong or that if they do there will be terrible results. Instead, convince yourself that things will improve and that you can work hard to help improve them. If you fail, think about what you have learned from the failure. If you succeed, praise yourself. Don't be too modest! There is nothing more encouraging than self-praise. Try your best to become an optimist. Sample 2 Are you an optimist or a pessimist? If you're a pessimist, here is some advice for you. As everyone knows, pessimism is harmful to people. It makes you unhappy and unhealthy, and even brings depression, loneliness and failure. Pessimists tend to suffer more failures and setbacks because they don't believe they can succeed and thus don't struggle for it. Optimism, by contrast, can make you happy, healthy and successful. So it is good for you to change yourself from a pessimist to an optimist. Here are some suggestions for you to become an optimist: 1. Remember that everyone experiences failures and disappointments. So when you fail, don't blame yourself too much. It may not be your fault. 2. When you fail in something, profit from the failure as a learning experience instead of getting depressed. And next time, you can make your plans to be more successful. 3. When you fail, don't be discouraged. Try again. Don't let negative thoughts hold you back. Just give yourself another chance. So never give up just because you failed. Pessimism is harmful, but it can be changed. Trust yourself and try to adopt an optimistic attitude, and then you will be a winner in life more often.

辽宁省教学成果奖

辽宁省教学成果奖成果总结成果名称大学英语教学模式的改革与实践成果完成人史梅程迎新李素荣闫宝华祝捷成果完成单位渤海大学申请等级一等申报时间2004年11月成果科类教育学代码0401222 大学英语教学模式改革与实践成果总结一、成果主要内容（一）确定教改模式，突出对学生进行大学英语综合能力的培养。多年来，大学英语教学一直把培养学生具有较强的阅读能力作为主要的教学目标，而忽略了听说能力的培养。整个教学围绕提高学生的应试能力进行。课堂教学以教师为中心，教学模式比较陈旧。随着我国社会的发展和对人才需求的变化，我们越来越感到传统教学模式已经不适应新时期对新型人才培养的需要。为此，我部在2001年着手对我校的大学英语教学进行改革，成立了由5名骨干教师为科研骨干的大学英语教学改革小组，负责对全校大学英语教学的改革进行具体的组织、策划和实施。经过认真研究，我们制定了教学改革策略，坚持继承与创新，坚持重点突破和整体推进的原则，以全面提高大学英语教学质量和教学水平。确定了"1515"大学英语教学改革模式，即：一个目标，五个模块，一个主题和五种能力。一个目标就是以学生大学英语综合应用能力的培养为目标；五个模块就是把大学英语教学分为精读、泛读、写作、口语和听力五门课程；一个主题就是大学英语的五门课程具体的教学内容和实践活动都围绕同一个主题展开；五种能力就是指整个大学英语教学过程强调听说读

写译五种应用能力的均衡发展。（二）加强课程体系和教学内容的改革和建设，是实现英语教学改革基本目标的重要保证。按照大学英语"1515"教学模式的要求，我们改革了课程体系和教学内容。首先，把大学英语教学分为五门课程，即在过去只开设精读、听力课的基础上，增设泛读、写作和口语课。将周学时的比例定为"2111"，即精读课每周2学时，其他均为每周1学时。将大一和大二的基础英语由每周的4学时增加到5学时，在大三增设每周2学时的考研英语选修课。其次，从01年起，我们使用了浙大编写的《新编大学英语》和把上海外教社出版的《全新版大学英语听说教程》。把《新编大学英语》的In-class Reading（课内阅读）作为精读教学的内容，After-class Reading (课后阅读)作为泛读教学的内容，把Preparation和Further Development中的部分内容、《全新版大学英语听说教程》中的Speaking Tasks和BBC或VOA 中的一些生活英语材料作为口语教学的内容，把《新编大学英语》的listening-center activity 和《大学英语听说教程》中的Part A, Part B, Part C及BBC或VOA不同题材的新闻节目作为听力教学的内容。为了帮助学生更好的理解教材中的内容，我们编写了《新编大学英语课文同步导读》1-3册。在教学过程中除了讲授教材中的内容之外，我们还有意识地向学生们介绍文化知识。我们还播放英文歌曲录音磁带、原文电影光盘等。课程体系和教学内容的改革，为听说读写译训练以主题教学模式的实施提供了必要的前提。师生们普遍都很认可，一致认为，改革后，课程体系更加系统完整，教学内容更加科学优化，这十分有利于综合技能的训练。（三）改革课堂教学，引导学生自主学习。为了更好的进行听说读写译5种技能的综合训练，我们以一个主题为主线把精读、泛读、写作、听力和口语等5个教学模块有机的结合在一起。根据我校学生英语基础很差的实际情况，我们坚持以课堂教学为主，以纸质教材为主。精读课堂以教师指导为主，学生讨论为辅，强调师生互动；泛读课堂以学生展示为主，教师总结为辅；写作以学生操练为主，教师指导为辅；听力课堂泛听以学生为主，精听以教师为主；口语课以学生讨论和展示为主，教师组织为辅。教学的重心由"教"转向"学"，由重结果向重过程转变，注重语言技能的训练。同时，教学过程中，教师通过设计大量Pre-tasks(课前任务),During-tasks (课中任务)和Post- tasks(课后任务)，加强对学生学习过程的精心指导和督促，强调了课堂学习向课外的延伸。在完成"任务"的过程中，学生始终处于一种积极的、主动的学习心理状态。不同课堂中丰富多彩的实践活动，不仅使学生在反复地使用相关词汇、短语和句子的过程中，提高他们实际的应用语言能力，而且在教师的有目的、有计划地指导下，使学生逐渐地养成了良好的自主学习的习惯。自01年在渤海大学本科教学中开始实施教改以来，深受学生的欢迎。学生称该课程是他们最感兴趣和很有收效的课程。（四）改进教学方法和手段，形成了教学方法的多样化和教学风格个性化。要达到培养学生综合能力的目标，实施大学英教学模式的改革，就必须改进教学方法。99年以前，我们的英语教学主要是以传统的翻译教学法为主。从01年起，我们彻底改变了此做法。采用灵活多样的教学法。如精读课，我们主要采取"语篇分析法"。如听力课，以提问和讨论相结合、精听和泛听相结合、真题实战等方法进行。如口语课，以小组讨论、口译、口头作文、小组展示、对话、小品等多种方式来进行。如写作课，注重精讲多练的原则，以笔译、写课文摘要、看图写话、命题作文等形式进行操练。如考研英语课堂采用了"英语词汇联想记忆法"、"三位一体翻译法"及"语篇分析法"进行词汇、翻译和阅读训练。同时，各种课堂还把先进的现代化手段如光盘、多媒体课件等与教师讲授相结合，增加了课堂教学的信息量和趣味性。教学过程中，我们还鼓励教师遵循教学规律，博采众长，结合实际，不断创新，形成了自己的教学特点和风格。每年暑假前，我们都在部内组织召开全体外语教师参加的特色经验交流大会，历时2天，先是以教研室为单位分组交流，每一位教师都发言，对自

1. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Private Tutoring Private tutoring is “in”. A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors. While private tutoring has both advantages and disadvantages, I feel that we should give more thoughts to its negative effects. Such a popular practice clearly indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents either missed the chance of obtaining a good education themselves or have been too busy with their own business. When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless. Private tutoring seems to be the only solution. As private tutoring is usually given on the one-to-one basis, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil; and teaching is, in most cases, directly to the point. Private tutoring benefits a lot of pupils, indeed. While on the other hand, private tutoring has its own disadvantages. For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupil’s time that they can hardly find enough time for rest or entertainment, which is essential for kids’ physical and mental health. Besides, some teachers, busy “shuttling” from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties. What is more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well on the test, offering the so-called tips for test-taking instead of helping them acquire

Part 1 Listening 1 Ex1: C A D C B Ex2: 1) approaching 2) left 3) toilet 4) locked 5) Tickets please 6) pushed 7) stamped Scripts: Two Belgians and two Dutchmen traveled regularly to work on the same train. After a while the Dutchmen saw that the two Belgians only had one ticket between them and asked how they managed to achieve this. The Belgians explained that when they heard the conductor approaching from the other end of the carriage, the two of them left their seats, went into the toilet and locked the door. When the conductor knocked on the toilet door, saying, "Tickets, please!", they pushed one ticket under the door. It was then stamped and pushed back under the door again. The Dutchmen thought this was a very good idea and the following morning bought one ticket between them. When they got to their carriage there was only one Belgian. They told him what they had done and asked the Belgian if he had a ticket as he was traveling on his own. The Belgian said he did not have a ticket at all and when they asked how he proposed to manage to travel free of charge, he told them they would have to wait and see until the conductor arrived, but he had no doubt that he would manage it without difficulty. As soon as they heard the conductor coming, the two Dutchmen immediately went to the toilet and locked the door. A few moments later, the Belgian followed them down the corridor and knocked on the toilet door, saying, "Tickets, please!" One ticket appeared under the door. Questions: 1.

I work as a salesclerk in a big department store in Fuji, Japan. Six years ago when I was 21 years old, I went to California to attend college. Life in the United States was much more difficult than I had ever imagined. It wasn't like the descriptions I had read in my textbooks. People often seemed tense and so I felt very alone. One of my hardest classes was physical education. We often played volleyball. All the other students were good at it, but I clearly wasn't. One afternoon, the teacher asked me to hit the ball to my classmates. For most people, this would be easy but I was terrified that I would make a fool of myself. When one of the boys on my team saw how nervous I was, he walked up to me and whispered, "Come on, you can do that." You can't imagine how those words of encouragement made me feel.
