1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition about your
opinion on Two-Child Policy. Do you support it or disapprove of it ? Write down your
ideas with 120 -180 words.
正确答案： On Two-child Policy Recently, our government has introduced a
new policy that every family can have two children, which stirs up a heated
discussion. From my point of view, I definitely support it. The reasons are as
follows. Firstly, it can resolve certain problems caused by one-child policy. Under the
influence of one-child policy, every family only has one child, which caused the
phenomenon that children don’ t know how to share with others. Secondly, it makes
parents feel more secure. When there is only one child in a family, every member pays
all attention to this child. If anything bad happens to him or her, it will destroy the
whole family. Thirdly, it makes children grow more happily. With the accompany of
their brother or sister, they know how to care about others and share. All in all, I
totally support the two-child policy. I believe that it brings lots of benefits to the
Chinese families and our country. With this policy, I think people will be more
energetic about their work and live more happily.
解析：开放二胎政策与我们每一个人的生活息息相关。题目要求考生表达对此政策的看法或观点。作文可分为三段：第一段引出话题，开门见山，摆明观点；第二段解释观点，分条论述；第三段总结全文，重申论点。

Section A
听力原文： Malawi is one of the poorest nations in Africa with millions of
people living under the poverty line. Unemployment rates are high. And those who
have jobs have low wages. Yet a recent survey shows that many Malawians are using
more than half of their monthly incomes on mobile phone usage. This makes Malawi
one of the most expensive countries in the world to use cell phones. In fact, a
report by the International Telecommunications Union, ITU, says on average,
Malawians use more than twelve dollars a month on cell phones. Lack of
competition is why mobile costs are so high. The government might be forced to
intervene to bring down the cost of using a mobile phone. Many consumers also want
the providers to give them value for their money by improving the quality of service
they get.1 What is the result of the recent survey?2 Why are the mobile costs so high
in Malawi?
2．
A．Half of Malawians live under the poverty line.
B．Mobile phone charge more than half of Malawians’ income.
C．Most Malawians couldn’t afford their mobile phone charge.
D．Half of Malawians are unemployed with no income.
正确答案：B
解析：题目询问调查的结果。新闻开头先描述了马拉维作为非洲最穷困的国家之一的诸多现状，然后说：“最近一项调查显示，许多马拉维人每月的话费竟超过工资的一半”。B意思与新闻一致，新闻中的手机话费用的是短语mobile
phone usage来表达，B换成了Mobile phone charge，意思不变。
3．
A．Because of the government’s interference.
B．Because of the high-level consumer-service.
C．Because of lack of competition in the market.
D．Because of the low income of consumers.
正确答案：C
解析：题目询问马拉维手机收费高昂的原因。新闻后段提到“手机费用如此之高的原因是缺乏市场竞争。”(Lack of competition)，故C正确。
听力原文： Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, and it’s a massive
shopping day. This year the retailers have a little bit of a unique opportunity. So, here
are a few strategies: [3]One, retailers are rolling out promotions early. More
people are shopping in November, before Black Friday. Two, minimize wait
times. Stores are increasing staff and mobile checkouts. The fact is, shoppers are more
valuable than ever before. So, stores are really working hard to keep them happy.
Three, focus on online sales. Researcher NPD Group says 60 percent of consumers
plan to shop online this year. So, expect more special online and mobile deal, and
fewer shipping fees, but at the end of the day, these tactics can only go so far.
Ultimately, what people spend and where they spend it, depends on how they feel
about their job, the economy, and how much money is in their pocket.3 What do the
retailers usually do before Black Friday?4 What is one of the strategies according to
the news report?
4．
A．They usually promote pre-Black Friday sales.
B．They do nothing but just wait for the battle.
C．They work hard to keep themselves happy.
D．They open stores after Thanksgiving morning.
正确答案：A
解析：题目询问零售商在黑色星期五到来前通常做些什么。新闻前段在描述第一个策略时提到”零售商们会提早推出促销活动”，A的pre-Black Friday与原文before Black Friday都表达了在黑色星期五到来之前的意思，所以A正确。
5．
A．Employ fewer staff.
B．Keep customer wait longer.
C．Pay attention to online sales.
D．Charge more shipping fees.
正确答案：C
解析：四个选项与新闻中的几条商家策略对应。新闻提到的第三个策略为“关注网上销售”，C中的Pay attention to和新闻中的focus on都表示“关注”，故C与原文同义，为答案。

正确答案： The Importance of Setting Goals in Life Setting goals in
our life is like having a map that tells us the direction. When goals are set, we won’t

Firstly, goals provide us with directions. Having a goal, we can know what we want,
focus our mind on the target, and we won’t waste our time and energy on irrelevant
things. Secondly, goals keep us motivated and give us an immense incentive to move

is John who is a doctor. We have lived as neighbors for the last ten years. During
this long period of time I have never found anything objectionable about him. He has

Companies should encourage old employees(55 years old)to retire, in order to give

正确答案： Companies Should Encourage Old Employees to Retire
Nowadays, a large number of employees who are more than 55 years old must retire
because of the company policy; therefore, many people think that the development of
a company cannot be separated from the number of young employees. I approve of
this viewpoint based on the following reasons. The main reason is that plenty of
