The impact of electronic products on family reunion

(1)The picture(cartoon)depicts(1.describes2.provides)an

(a) authentic (1.vivid 2.genuine)scene of family get-together.everyone sits around the dinner table for the family reunion; However, oddly, both children and young adults immerse themselves in electronic products like iPhones or iPads, leaving their old parents looking at each other speechlessly.

(2)In fact, family reunion provides a good opportunity for family members to spend quality time together, build positive memories, and keep bonds of kinship. (3)However, it makes no sense if everyone indulges in the fantastic world of electronic devices, searching the latest information, updating or following their microblogs or simply playing fascinating games. What they want is only their children’s company, How disappointed and upset they would be if we turn a blind eye to their real needs.

(4)Personally(1.From my point of view 2.As for me) I firmly (1.decidedly 2. Unwaveringly)insist(hold)that youngsters

share more time with their parents or grandparents. Electronic products are updating and changing from time to time, but our invaluable kinship exists eternally.

Self-confidence Pays

(1)One of the most popular sentences online states that “Remember...always act like you are wearing an invisible crown.”(2)What the saying(expression) indicates(1. demonstrates 2.hints) is the importance of self-confidence, an attitude that we take towards ourselves.

(3)Here are two main reasons why we should be confident,

(4)First, it is the foundation of individual success. In reality, to achieve even the smallest goals, and to get through daily duties and responsibilities in life, we have to have self-confidence. For example, when we go for a job interview, if our body language gives any indication of uncertainty, the interviewer may pick up on that and probably will give the job

to someone else. Second, a confident man is less likely to fall into fear, anger and depression, The more confident we are, the less disappointed we will feel upon being rejected.(1.The less frustrated we will become upon being declined. 2.The less depressed we will feel upon being refused.)

(5)To conclude, self-confidence will enable us to success and persevere through setback, While lack of confidence will definitely have a negative effect on our social relations, career achievements and even our mood.

题目：I study→I take the test→I pass it→I forget what

I learnt

My view on examination-oriented education

(1)Where there is education, there come examinations.

(2)In the picture, a student expresses his feeling; “I study.

I take the test. I pass it, and then I forget what I learnt.”Through humorous, this cartoon is thought-provoking and makes

us think; Do students really benefit from exams?（1.Though it is a humorous cartoon, it is thought-provoking and makes us think: 2.Although this cartoon carries a sense of humor,it is thought-provoking and makes us think）

(3)There is no denying(undeniable)that test results can be used to motivate students to learn more. (Undeniably, test results.......)(4)However, such examination-oriented education is fairly controversial and cannot achieve the expected goal to improve students’ study. It is not rare that many students cram hard for the tests and get good results. Unfortunately, the minute they finish the papers, they seemingly forget everything they have learnt.

(5)Hence, it is high time that we reformed this examination-oriented education. Otherwise, there will be an increase in the number of test takers who get high scores but cannot apply theory into practice.

(1)用Where there is education, there come examination.开篇，高度概括图片意思。

(2)生动描述图片的内容，并揭示其表现的深刻意义。

(5)最后用强调句型点题，呼吁进行教育改革。

Exhaust Fumes

(1)In the cartoon, many automobiles, like a host of pests, are chewing up a green leaf bit by bit. From the drawing we easily identify what the author intends to convey: As emissions from millions of vehicles on the road increase, exhaust fumes become the major polluter.

(2)Along with the growth of economy, China has witnesses more and more automobiles running on the streets. （1.with the growth of economy, China has seen more and more automobiles running on the streets.2.As economy grows, there is a dramatic increase in the number of automobiles running on the streets in China.）As a result, many cities suffer from severe air pollution due to gas emissions. Needless to say, automotive emissions not only cause severe environmental problems, but potentially do harm to people’s health.

(3)In my opinion, a wide array of solutions should be adopted to address this issue. First, the government should raise the public’s awareness of environmental protection and encourage the use of eco-friendly automobiles. Second, every citizen is duty-bound to protect the environment. In a nutshell, it is imperative that both authorities and individuals take joint efforts to combat air pollution from traffic fumes.(1.In

a word, it is crucial that.......2.In brief, it is mandatory

that.....)

College students’ choice of reading materials

(1)The pie chart above illustrates the proportion of four

kinds of reading materials chosen by college students.

(2)Newspapers account for 44% of their reading material, twice

as much as magazines which constitute 22%, while fictions and

textbooks only make up 18% and 16% respectively. It is evident

that college students spend the majority of their time on

newspapers, but much less on the rest of reading materials.

（1.It can be easily gathered that.......2.It is obvious that

the majority of college students’ time is spent on newspapers,

with much less on the rest of reading materials.）

（3）There are two main reasons for it. First, compared

with other reading materials, newspapers can help college

students learn what is happening in the world every day. Second, all kinds of newspapers, ranging from foreign language newspapers, sports newspapers to entertainment newspapers, can cater to different needs of college students.

（4）Along with the increased amount of time spent on newspapers,some problems arise. The most serious one is that college students spend less and less time reading classics, which are the essence of literature. (1.The most disturbing one is that the college students’time spent on reading classics, the essence of literature, is diminishing.2.The most serious one is that college students spend increasingly less time reading classics, which are the essence of literature.) Therefore, it is urgent that college students choose reading materials in a proper way.

The key to be useful

(1)Different people hold quite different opinions about the key to be useful. (There is a debate about the key to be

useful. 2.People’s opinions vary about the key to be useful.)Many people assert that personal abilities count for much. They maintain such an idea because a lot of people stand out from their peers for their remarkable capacities.

(2)However, others believe that opportunities play a vital role in one’s success, which helps to explain why some people rise above while others similarly talented are left behind.

(3)As far as I’m concerned, the internal capabilities are much more important than external opportunities. (4)First, there are various chances in our society but only those who are prepared adequately can make good use of them to achieve their goals. Second, without a ready mind, good opportunities may slip through one’s fingers, Last but not least, no matter whether there are favorable opportunities or not, what we should do is to study, to struggle, and to improve ourselves.

(5)In a word, we can take advantage of opportunities to achieve success but never can they be the only cause of success.

(1)提出一种观点，有些人认为成才的关键是个人能力。

(2)使用However进行转折，阐述了另外一种观点。

(3)阐明自己的观点，即认为个人能力要比外部机遇要重要。

(4)Besides, they don’t want to be overprotected by their parents but long for a chance to face the society by themselves.（1.Moreover, not wanting to be overprotected by their parents, they are keen to face the society by themselves. 2.What’s more important is that they are eager to get away from their parents’ overprotection and to face the society by themselves.）

(5)As for me, I like an independent lifestyle in spite of the fact I love my parents. (1.personally I prefer an independent lifestyle although I love my parents. 2.I’d like to choose an independent lifestyle, despite the face that I love my parents.)Living separately, each generation can enjoy their own life. In addition, by leading an independent life, I can develop my ability to deal with things encountered in

my life.

2.与传统板书相比其优势和缺陷

2.我的看法

Blackboard-writing or PowerPoint

(1)Along with the development of modern techniques, more and more teachers are using PowerPoint rather than blackboard and chalks in their teaching. (2)When asked about which is better, some students say they prefer the using of PowerPoint since it is vivid and interesting. But some other students claim that the traditional blackboard-writing is more helpful.

(3)When compared with blackboard-writing, PowerPoint has its own limitations. (4)First, it can distract students’attention. Teachers usually use elements such as sound, images and flashes, which might distract the students from the knowledge they are supposed to grasp. Second, it may overload the students with too much information. (5)As a consequence, many a student cannot focus their attention for a long time, let along grasp the knowledge.

(6)In my opinion, （1.As far as I am concerned, 2.From my perspective, 3.From my point of view）although PowerPoint is used widely nowadays, it still has its limitations. Our traditional blackboard-writing should be preserved rather than abandoned.

(1)首段开门见山，指出越来越多的教师使用多媒体课件。

(2)进一步阐述现象：学生对多媒体课件和传统板书教学各有所好。

(3)紧扣提纲，阐明原因：分析多媒体教学手段的局限性。

(4)用First....Second...结构列举其具体弊端：多媒体课件加入很多声音、图像以及动画因素，会分散学生的注意力，而其过多的信息量也会成为学生的负担。

(5)用As a consequence总结多媒体教学手段的诸多局限性。let along“更不用说了......”

(6)用In my opinion 这一结构引出自己的观点：尽管时下多媒体被广泛应用于教学，但是传统的板书教学要保留，而不是摒弃。

2.但有些人认为不应该这么做

3.我的看法

Power supply all night

(1)Some college students hope that their dormitory can have power supply all night so that they can stay up as late as they like to study or to surf the Internet.（2）And also,regardless of sever coldness or blistering heat,(1. When it is extremely cold or hot,2. In case it is extremely chilly or unbearable hot,)they can enjoy the air-conditioner, or at least the smaller electrical appliance to carry them through.

（3）In fact, there are some opposing voices. Some people

think power supply all night will give students chances to indulge themselves in computer games .Even those who are really studying may disturb their roommates' rest. Secondly, it would be a huge burden for the power resources. Thirdly, it may lead to disasters such as fire .

（4）As for me.I applaud the idea of power supply all night(1.As far as I am concerned, I agree with the idea of power supply all night..2. In my opinion, I am in favour of power supply all night...)because of all the benefits mentioned above. （5） admit it does have shortages, but I.think we should learn to deal with them. Cutting off power

is a simple but irresponsible way which is not humane enough.

（1）文章第一句以一个复合句直接陈述观点并在从句中顺势带出第一个理由。stay up

as late as they like“他们想熬夜到多晚就能到多晚”为高分表达。

（2）第二个理由：在严冬酷暑可以有电器取暖或降温。severe coldness“严寒”；

（3）事实上存在着一些反对的声音。以voices指代opinions生动形象

indulge oneself in sth.“使自己沉溺于某物”为高分表达。

blistering heat“酷暑”；carry sb.through“使某人渡过难关”。

（4）引出我的观点，以applaud指代agree,使词句更显生动。

（5）I admit.....but I think....“我承认....,但我认为.....”以退为进，值得

模仿。irresponsible“不负责的”，humane“人道的”都是亮点词汇。

the young people and the country.2. In sum, studying abroad

is of great benefit to both the young people and the country.) （1）文章第一句没有写与主题相关的内容，而是说“努力地进入一所好大学，拿到一

张大学文凭曾经是年轻人生活中的一件大事”。这样的开头更能引起读者的共鸣（2）点明

主题：现在，年轻人不再局限于选择国内的学校了。 be confined to“局限于”。（3）通

2.奥运会是国际性的体育盛会（sporting events）, 体育项目种类繁多，

分为夏冬两季，均是每4年举办一次。最初有记载的奥运会于公元前776年在希

腊的奥林匹亚（Olympia）举行。奥运会是最大的媒体活动之一。2000年悉尼奥

4. 秧歌舞（Yangko）是中国汉族的一种传统民间舞蹈，通常在北方省份

表演。秧歌舞者通常穿上明亮多彩的表演服装（costume），他们的表演动作有力而迅速。在农历春节,元宵节等节日期间，人们一旦听到锣（gong）鼓声，不管外面天气有多冷，他们都会蜂拥到街上观看秧歌舞表演。近年来，中国东北某些城市的老年人自发组织了秧歌队，队员常年通过跳秧歌舞来保持健康，同时他们也乐在其中。

The Yangko dance is a traditional folk dance of the Han Chinese, commonly performed in the northern provinces. Yangko dancers usually wear bright and colorful costumes, and their movements are vigorous and quick. During holidays such as lunar New Year and Lantern Festival, as soon as people hear the sound of drums and gongs they swarm into the streets to watch Yangko dance performances, no matter how cold it is outside. In recent years, elderly people in some cities in Northeast China have been organizing themselves into Yangko teams, with the dancers mostly enjoying themselves while keeping fit all year round.

5.中国以创造各种方式，方法来方便人类的生活而广为人知。在中国古代的发明中，四大发明不仅为中国的发展，还为世界经济和文化的发展，作出了巨大的贡献。中国古代的四大发明分别是造纸术，印刷术，火药（gun power）和指南针（compass）。中国古代的四大发明为世界经济和人类文化作出了重要

贡献，而且这也是中国作为世界文明大国的重要象征。

China is well known for its introduction of ways and means to help ease the life of mankind. Among the inventions of Ancient China, four emerged as great contributions to the developments and changes not only to the country, but also to the world's economy and culture. The Four Great Inventions of ancient China were papermaking, commercial printing, gunpowder, and the compass. China's four great ancient inventions made tremendous contributions to the world's economy and the culture of mankind . They were also important symbols of China's role as a great world civilization.

6.中国人喜欢在一起吃饭，这个传统可以追溯到很久之前。这反映出中国

人喜欢团圆，不愿分离的观念-圆桌，圆盘，圆碗都象征着团圆和美满。盘子通常放在桌子中央，这样坐在桌子面前的所有人都可以吃得到。一锅热汤尤其可以增加和谐，团圆的气氛。朋友们也喜欢在一起吃饭，生活。最近一位美国汉学家（Sinologist）的著作认为，中国人的集体观念（collective tradition）就是从一同吃饭发展而来的。

Chinese like to eat together, which is a tradition that can be traced back a long time ago. It reflects the Chinese notion of union versus division-round tables, round dishes, and round bowls all symbolize union and perfection. Dishes are usually placed at the center of the table so that everyone around the table can share them. A hot pot, in particular, adds to the atmosphere of harmony and union. Friends also like to eat and live together. A recent book by an American Sinologist held that the Chinese collective tradition developed out of the practice of eating together.

7.中国的菜肴拥有许多种不同的流派（genre）,但是最具影响力并且最为公众所熟悉的就是“八大菜系”（the Eight Categories of Chinese Cuisine）。它们是：鲁菜，川菜，粤菜，闽菜，苏菜，浙菜，湘菜以及徽菜。确定一种流派形式的关键要素十分复杂，包括历史，烹调特征，地理，气候，资源以及生活方式。不同地区的菜肴各具特色，因此尽管有时两个地区相互毗邻，但是它们的风格却完全不同。

Chinese cuisine has a number of different genres, but the most influential and typical known by the public are the “Eight Categories of Chinese Cuisine” . These are as follows Shandong Cuisine, Sichuan Cuisine, Guangdong Cuisine, Fujian Cuisine, Jiangsu Chinese, Zhejiang Cuisine, Hunan Cuisine, and Anhui Cuisine. The essential factors that establish the from of a genre are complex and include [2/2]history, cooking features, geography, climate, resources and lifestyles. Cuisines from different regions are so distinctive that sometimes despite the fact

that two areas are geographical neighbors, their styles are completely alien.

8.无论中国人走到哪里，都不会改掉喝茶的习惯。茶最先由中国人发现，

它是中国人生活中不可或缺的组成部分。有一句中国谚语将基本的日常必需品（basic daily necessities）称为柴，米，油，盐，酱，醋，茶。一片多年以来，饮茶的习俗已经在中国人心中根深蒂固（ingrained）。唐朝时，一个名叫陆羽的人写了世界上第一部关于茶的著作-《茶经》（Book of Tea），这部书有助于在中国推广饮茶艺术。

Wherever the Chinese go, the custom of the drinking tea follows. Tea was first discovered by the Chinese and it is an indispensable part of the life of the Chinese. A Chinese saying identifies the basic daily necessities as fuel, rice, oil, sate, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. The custom of drinking tea has been ingrained in the Chinese for over a thousand years. In Tang Dynasty, a man named Lu Yu created the first compendium in the world on tea, Book of Tea. This work helped to popularize the art of tea drinking all across China.

9.川剧（Sichuan Opera）就像四川火锅以及其他的名菜一样动人，丰富。变脸（Face Changing）是川剧中的一大亮点。据说古人在他们的脸上作画，以便赶走野生动物。川剧吸收了这一古老的技术并将其升华为一门艺术。变脸是一门神奇的艺术。演员在不到20秒的时间内要换十多次脸谱。通过举手，摆袖或摇头，演员使用不同的脸谱来表现不同的情绪，并通过看得见摸得着的脸谱表达出看不见摸不着的感情。

Sichuan Opera（Chuan Ju）, like hot-pot and other famous Sichuan dishes, is exciting and rich. Face Changing is the highlight of Sichuan Opera. It is said that ancient people painted their faces to drive away wild animals. Sichuan Opera absorbs this ancient skill and perfects it into an art. Face Changing is a magical art. Actors change more than 10 masks in less than 20 seconds. By raising the hand, swinging a sleeve or tossing the head, an actor uses different masks to show different emotions, expressing invisible and intangible

feelings through visible and tangible masks.

10.刺绣（embroidery）是一种具有悠久传统的民间艺术，在中国艺术和

手工艺品史上占有重要地位。刺绣的长期发展离不开蚕的饲养和纺丝技术的发展。中国是世界上第一个发现和使用丝绸的国家。早在5 000年前，中国就已经开始饲养蚕。丝线和丝制品的生产促进了刺绣艺术的诞生。时至今日，丝绣几乎已经传遍整个中国。最好的绣品通常被认为来源于下面四省：江苏（尤其是苏州），湖南，四川和广东，各省绣品各具特色。

Embroidery, a folk art with a long tradition, occupies an important position in the history of Chinese arts and crafts. It is, in its long development, inseparable from silkworm-raising and silk-reeling and weaving. China is the first country in the world that discovered the use of silk. Silkworms were domesticated as early as 5 000 years ago. The production of silk thread and fabrics gave rise to the art of embroidery. Today, silk embroidery is practised nearly all over China. It is generally agreed that the best commercial products come from four provinces：Jiangsu（notably Suzhou）, Hunan, Sichuan and Guangdong, each with its distinctive features.
