Part I Writing
(主观题)Directions：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short
essay about a campus activity that has benefited you most. State the reasons at least
120 No more than180 words.
【参考范文】
Every university offers numerous kinds of activities to enrich students'
extracurricular life. As one of the young college students, I have benefited a lot
from all of these well- organized activities, but the one impressing me most is the
debate competition which I took part in last year.
That was a debate competition between different majors and the topic was about
theoretical knowledge versus practices. What mattered most is not the result of the
debate, but gathering background information and practicing the process of debate.
Also, no individual could accomplish the challenging task all by herself or himself,
so joint efforts have played a significant role in winning the competition. Team
spirit and co- operation has been improved a lot and I believe this is more precious
than winning or losing.
To be brief, we should participate in more campus activities, not only can we
get a better understanding of what we have learnt before, but also make new friends
and discover our interests.

Stunt people(替身演员) are not movie stars, but they are the hidden heroes of many movies.
They were around long before films. Even Shakespeare may have used them in fight
scenes. To be good, a fight scene has to look real. Punches must (26)______ enemies'
jaws. Sword fights must be fought with(27)______ swords. Several actors are usually
in a fight scene. Their moves must be set up so that no one gets hurt. It is almost
like planning a dance performance.
If a movie scene is dangerous, stun people usually(28)______the stars. You may
think you see Tom Cruise running along the top of a train. But it is(29)______ his
stunt double. Stunt people must(30)______ the stars they stand in for. Their height
and build should be about the same. But when close-ups are needed, the film(31)______
the star.
Some stunt people(32)______ in certain kinds of scenes. For instance, a stunt
woman named Jan Davis does all kinds of jumps. She has leapt from planes and even
off the top of a waterfall. Each jump required careful planning and expert(33)______.
Yakima Canutt was a famous cowboy stunt man. Among other stunts, he could jump from a
second story window onto a horse's back. He(34)______ the famous trick of sliding under a moving

The deeling in degree production in what are called the STEM disciplines(science,
