In my opinion,
a
good leader should be trustworthy, persistent and
forward-looking.
The
world
is
looking
for
honest
and
upright
leaders,
too.
In order to
leave
this world a different
place, a leader
also
has
to
persevere.
Leaders
don't
grow
in
a
comfort
zone
（温室）
.
Leaders
are not people with
exceptional
（例外的，特别的）
talent; they are
people
who
have
learned
from
their
mistakes
and
get
up
and
try
again,
being a
non-
quitter
（永不放弃的人）
.
Being in leadership roles, a person
should be able to see the big
picture
and take risks, doing things right and at the
right time.
Thus he can correctly
assess a situation and knows how to take the
next step.
In
summary,
honesty,
endurance,
and
having
a
big
vision
are
the
good
qualities of / for
effective leadership.

Do
you
agree
or
disagree
that
people
should
always
tell
the
truth?
I
don
’
t
think
it
’
s
a
good
idea
for
people
to
always
speak
the
truth.
Truth
can
enhance
but
sometimes
can
destroy
a
relationship,
depending
upon the intent.
There are
times when telling
might
not
be
wild
about
what
your
friend
is
wearing,
but
if
your
friend
is giving an important presentation and
asks you how s/he looks, it
would not
be
in anyone's highest good
（有最大好处）
to give your
opinion.
There are
also
times when many of us
have much difficulty speaking
our
truth
especially
to
important
others
such
as
parents,
siblings,
close
friends,
and
beloved
ones.
We
are
afraid
the
other
person
will
be
angry
or
hurt
by
our
truth,
even
when
we
state
it
without
judgment
or blame.
Therefore,
telling the truth
is not always helpful. The important
thing in telling the truth is to be
honest with yourself about your
own
intent in telling your truth

how
to
play

Now
I
can

a musical instrument

,
so this
would be a new skill for
me.
It
would
be
a
good
skill
to
have
because
I
could
（情态动词
could

take
my
guitar
to
parties
and
play
music
for
my
friends.
Also,
I
could
join
a
band
and
play
songs
with
other
musicians.
Maybe
I
could
make
money in
that
way,
but
the
main
reason
is
I
enjoy
music
and want to
understand it better.

A
new skill that I would like to learn is
（稍换了一种说法）
to cook. China

are
popular
all
over
the
world.
And

as
a

-------the

It
would be a good
skill to have because I
could
ask my classmates and friends
over to

cook for
them.
Also, I could
do a

our food culture.
Maybe I could make

Some
people
plan
every
detail
of
their
vacation
in
advance.
Others
prefer to leave most details flexible
or open to chance. Which do
you think
is better and why?
I
think
advance
planning
is
critical
to
a
successful
vacation,
regardless of
whether the
trip is long or short.
To
have
a
comfortable
vacation,
it
’
s
necessary
to
check
the
climate
for the time to plan to visit. And it
is always a good idea to make
advance
hotel reservations when vacationing.
Planning the vacation in advance will
also
give us more time to
prepare for it and to ensure that we
have all of the needed. This
could
mean
we
will
not
have
to
miss
out
on
activities
because
of
not
having
the
correct
equipment.
Especially
when
we
decide
to
go
camping
for
vacation, reservations in advance allow us to
determine ahead
of time whether or not
the campground has a lake, hiking trails,
electricity, etc. Besides, we get the
idea of what to take.
Last but not
least,
advance vacation planning is
likely to make our
experience a more
memorable one.
5 Choose one of the following and
explain why you like it most:
fictions,
magazines
and
poems.
Use
specific
reasons
and
examples
to
support your answer.
I
prefer
magazines
to
fictions
or
poems,
especially
monthly
magazines
because they are like colorful flowers
in a garden. They are good
in
some
way
and
fill
current
trends
and
demands
in
different
definition
of
a
good
magazine
is
one
that
doesn
’
t
just
stick
to
the
same
writers
and
trends.
The
presentation,
theme,
and
subjects
should
vary
to
grab
the
interest
of
readers.
And
a
magazine
should
be
a
place
where new writers can

发展期开花期
I would
like to see more
magazine stories and
features on the new generation of writers and
I hope to read more about new trends
and new ideas.
I read five or six
magazines per month and I buy two magazines
regularly---fashion and beauty because
they are worth reading for
their
entertainment
news
and
fashion
and
beauty
tips.
Sometimes
the
personality profiles

Some
students
prefer
to
live
alone.
Others
prefer
to
live
with
their
roommates. Which do you prefer and why?
Some people may
would like
to live by themselves because they may
have much privacy and freedom.
But I think
living with a
roommate
would be better for three
reasons.
First,
sharing
the
rent
would
decrease
the
financial
burden.
Especially when
living in a big city, living with a roommate is a
better choice.
Second,
one may feel lonely
when living all by oneself. Talking to
someone
or
sometimes
cooking
together
would
offer
change,
enrich
one
’
s character
and help build better interpersonal relationship.
Third,
if
you
are
sick,
the
roommate
would
help
you
get
the
medicine
or
a
doctor.
However,
if
you
live
alone,
you
would
be
in
great
trouble.
Therefore,
I would rather
have a roommate living with me.

Describe your favorite room in your house or
somewhere else and
explain why.
My favorite room is
the
living room.
I
like
lots
of
open
space
and
a
sense
of
expansiveness
,
of
freedom
(
宽
< br>敞和自由的感觉
).
Also,
it
’
s
a
place
where
I
can
look
around
and
not
feel
agitated
(
不安的
) or
confined
(
受限制的
). All
different but
natural
colors
have
a
such
lovely
warm
effect
that
I
would
never
get
tired of it. Everything is in
harmony----- large digital TV on the
wall,
glass-made
tea
table,
beautiful
plants,
couch
and
sofa,
a
good
book,
a
good
wine.
It
gives
me
a
sense
of
satisfaction
and
away
from
hurly--
burly
(
喧嚣
). It is
at times a place to
contemplate
(
沉思
)
and
at
times
a
place
to
share
with
friends.
In
a
word,
it
is
graceful,
refined, comfortable and restful
.

Some people would like to go straight to the
destination to see
the view while
traveling. Other people prefer to enjoy the
scenery
along the way. Which do you
prefer and why?
Some people
would like to
go straight to the
destination to see the
view
while
traveling
bcause
they
want
to
spend
a
long
period
of
time
enjoying
the place as they planned.
But as far
as I
’
m concerned,
I prefer to
enjoy the
scenery along the way.
First,
traveling is a process, not a
destination. In most cases,
traveling
is a process of getting from point A to point B.
The mind
is relaxing while the
landscape is passed by. Moreover, it is a
process of sightseeing for us to
communicate with the history and
nature.
Second,
taking
time
along
the
way
enables
us
to
see
some
places
that
we haven
’
t been
to or may not have the chance to go for a visit.
What good additional gain!
Finally,
not rushing to the
destination but enjoying the sights
during the journey is less stressful
and more enjoyable.
9 State one of your challenging
experiences. Explain why it is
challenging and how you conquered this
challenge.
Something
challenging that I ever did was the first time I
gave a
public speech when I was in
middle school.
As
we
know,
the
biggest
concern
about
public
speaking
is
the
anxiety.
It was
not
that
I
hadn
’
t
done
such
a
thing before, but
that
I
hadn
’
t got it
well prepared. Also, it was a large audience of
over 1,000
students and the teaching
staff.
A
couple
of
days
before
the
speech,
I
couldn
’
t
sleep
well,
so
I
asked
my
politics teacher --- a very nice person, for help.
She gave me
very
useful
suggestions-----
think
positively
and
take
action,
which
still works
for me right
now.
Then
I did as
I
was advised
to. Though
I
could
have
done
worse
than
I
had
expected,
I
wouldn
’
t
lose
anything,
but get valuable experience. Keeping
this in mind, I practiced over
and over
again in front of a mirror. Eventually, I made it.

Some people choose a major that may guarantee a
good job. Other
people choose a major
out of their personal interest in that area.
Which do you think is a good idea and
why?
Some
students
would
choose
to
study
a
subject
because
it
brings
plenty
of
job
opportunities.
Instead,
others
would
choose
to
study
a
subject
which
really
interests
themselves,
although
it
probably
doesn
’
t
sell
well in the job market.
Which opinion do you agree about? Explain
3
why. )
These
two aspects of choosing a major both have their
merits, but
I still think choosing a
major out of personal interest is a better
idea.
To begin
with,
interest is the best teacher.
Only when people show
great interest in
that particular area, they can do well in their
academic career.
In
addition,
interest
leads
to
involvement
and
involvement
leads
to
enthusiasm and more
response, which is very important for a student
who
’
s pursuing a
better future.
What
’
s
more,
long-term
success
depends
on
performance
out
of
vital
interest.
Interest
in
the
subject
encourages
them
to
take
an
optimistic
view-point
and
continued
action
to
accomplish
their
goals.
Even when
facing
tough
problems, they
are able to tackle them and
move
forward.
In
closing,
I
agree
with
the
idea
of
interest
being
the
most
important
consideration of
choosing a subject.
11 Describe an important
gift you
’
ve received and
explain why it
is important.
An important gift
I
’
ve ever received is a doll
given by my mother
on my sixth
birthday.
The
doll
is
part
of
my
fondest
memories
of
childhood.
I
was
a
fourth
child
and received
hand-me-
downs
(
传下来的东西
)from
my sisters for
everything--clothes,
shoes,
schoolbags.
This
was
the
first
significant thing that
I received of value that was just for me.
I
had
endless
hours
of
play
with
that
doll.
She
is
around
3
feet
tall,
long brown hair, beautiful eyes, black
shoes,
undergarment
内衣贴
身衣
and I think the dress is a plaid one which my
mother made for
her. I had her for
quite a few years and loved to dress her up and
change her hairstyle as a child.
The doll still exists and I'm thrilled
to discover that she
’
s in
in excellent condition because it truly
has great meaning to me.
The best gift
I have ever got is a computer. My father bought
for
me two years ago.
Although
its model is a bit
out of date, its
performance is still
in good conditions. I
spend
at least 5 hours
in front of my
computer everyday.
Mostly
importantly
, it is a tool
for my study and work. It can help me
to finish my paper, make
presentation
slides, do the lab data analysis, or download some
materials for study.
Besides
,
in
my
spare time
, I
use my computer
to surf online to get
latest news, to find some useful information
I need, or sometimes I can chat with
friends with the help of it.
So
it seems that I can
hardly imagine how my life would be like if
without it.
12
Is
the
life
in
your
generation
easier
or
more
difficult
than
that
in your
grandparents' time?
People
’
s life
nowadays is undoubtedly becoming easier and more
convenient due to the advanced
technology.
Before,
people
used
to
cook
by
burning
wood
or
coal,
do
their
laundry
洗衣店要
洗的衣服
with
their
hands
and
get
information
only
from
books,
newspapers, some printed stuff like
that. But the technological
inventions
make life better and more enjoyable. An electric
boiler
or a microwave oven makes
cooking much faster and easier. A fully
automatic washing machine drives the
tedious
冗长乏味的；沉闷的
laundry work
away and people keep themselves very well informed
by
4
watching
TV
or
surfing
the
Internet.
Net-surfers
in
different
countries
can
share
interesting
knowledge
and
the
latest
information.
And also the Internet has provided a
major opportunity to buy and
sell
merchandise and even stocks, reserve a ticket or a
room, or do
e-business.
All
this
results
in
people
meeting
and
sharing
thoughts
and exchanging
knowledge, which eventually leads to betterment of
mankind.
13
Describe
one
of
the
most
positive
inventions
in
the
last
100
years
Some people
might think computer is one of the most important
inventions in the last century. But
I
’
d say television. Since
the
invention
of
television,
human
history
has
started
a
new
page.
First,
TV allows people to learn about
what
’
s going on in the
world. With
such
information,
they
are
able
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
world they live in.
What
’
s
more,
TV provides a lot of interesting
programs
that
many
people
enjoy
after
a
long
day
’
s
work.
Its
visual
effect makes people feel less stressed
and more relaxed.
Most
important of all,
Television
has a great influence on the way that
we think and talk.

Some
people
think
college
education
is
essential
to
a
successful
career. Other
people think attending college
doesn
’
t help a lot .
Which opinion do you have?
College
education
is
crucial
to
not
only
one
’
s
personal
realization,
and but to development of the society
as well.
From
my
point
of
view,
there
are
many
merits
and
advantages
to
college
education.
I
guess
the
core
advantages
are
still
definitely
academic,
but increasingly socially important and
prominent. Nowadays the
workforce and
modes of work, as well as job requirements and
duties
are in an ever-increasing state
of constant flux(
变迁
)and
change------
more
demanding
mentally,
more
demanding
time-wise,
more
demanding in all aspects.
The workforce of today must be first
and foremost multi-skilled. A
mathematical, copious
(
丰富的
)organizational skills,
computer
semi-
geek(
奇才
),
can
start,
handle,
and
finish
several
projects
all
at once and all on time.
The
real
learning
therefore
is
no
longer
single-discipline
academic,
but
broad
and
varied,
flexible
and
adaptable.
And
this
is
why
college
education is
becoming more and more essential.
15
Choose
one
of
the
following
and
explain
where
you
would
most
like
to live: a forest, a
desert or a prairie.
If I had a chance
to choose where I live, I would rather live in a
forest than in a desert or a prairie.
It
has
been
…
.
years
I
’
m
living
in
a
city.
Only
now
I
realized
the
beauty of nature.
I
’
m sick of the smokes,
annoying noises, dirty
environment,
and
stressful
lifestyle
surrounding
me.
It
just
doesn
’
t fit me. I
want to get out of here as soon as possible.
Forest
is
simply
the
best.
Obviously
the
air
is
fresh
and
is
protected.
5
I
’
m
addicted to
trees. The
nature is amazing and it is one of the
most beautiful places in the world. I
would have the opportunity to
enjoy
the
tranquility
(<
/p>
宁静
)of
different
seasons.
Also
I
would
be
able
to discover
cosy
(
舒适的
)cottages
deep in the
lush
(
苍翠繁茂的
)
forest.
That
’
s why
I want to live in a forest--- somewhere
peaceful, nice
and quiet.
16 Some people like to read
imaginative literature like fiction.
Others prefer to read real literature.
How about your opinion?
Some people
like to read real literature because it concerns
itself
with humanity's true problems,
the struggles of the Self to become
whole in a
hostile
(
有敌意的
)world and so on.
But I prefer
to read
imaginative literature for a couple of
reasons.
The first reason that I wanna
say is that
imaginative literature
invents
not
only
alternative
technologies
but
also
alternative
cultures,
societies and ways of perceiving the world, it is
the one
literature we have that is
truly revolutionary. It stimulates us to
think beyond our social and cultural
conditioning
(
调节
). It gives
us, in other words, freedom of thought.
More importantly,
imaginative fiction has a long tradition as a
literature
in
which
Style
is
as
important
as
Idea
.
Elegance
of
language, experimentation
with style and use of words are all to be
found
in
this
realm
(
领
域<
/p>
).
So,
uh,
that
’
s
why
I
choose
its
revolutionary
character
(
革命性
)and
language
for the two reasons
listed above.
17 Describe a time when you needed help
from others, how he or she
helped you
and what was the result?
One of the
greatest experience in which I received help was
when I
first
met
an
English
teacher
reading
aloud
in
a
bookstore.
His
English
accent
was
so
native-
like
that
I
was
deeply
impressed
and
attracted.
So
I came over and asked him about the way he learned
English. He
was
very
nice
to
offer
me
help,
telling
me
that
pronunciation
is
very
important
in
learning
a
foreign
language
because
there
’
s
linguistic
distance between
two different languages. He also told me the best
way to practice pronunciation is by
imitating and repeating after
the
native voice. He corrected me on the spot by
showing me how to
use
the
speech
organs
to
make
a
native-
like
sound.
I
can
still
clearly
remember
that
the
two
sounds
he
corrected
was
/au/
and
/ai/.
Keeping
his
thoughts
and
ideas
in
mind,
I
practiced
after
the
tape
for
a
month,
then
I
made
it
----
I
could
speak
authentic
(<
/p>
纯正的
)American
English!
18 Which factor do you think plays a
more important role in career
choice,
money or your personal satisfaction?
We
live
in
an
interesting
time
when
there
is
a
huge
amount
of
personal
introspection
(
自省
)going into
people's choices for their career.
Or
at least there is talk of it.
The
idea
of
enjoying
what
you
do
-
and
even
more
so,
finding
meaning
and fulfillment in
it, is a
prevalent
(
< br>流行的
,
普遍的
)concep
t.
First,
personal
satisfaction
and
positive
emotions
have
a
significant relationship with
happiness. Only if you are proud of
the
past, content with the present and optimistic
about the future,
you can obtain
personal fulfillment.
6
Second,
personal
satisfaction is more than the income potential.
Seeking
out
your
career,
whenever
possible,
wherever
possible,
based
on
your
desires
and
aptitude
s
(
才能
,
资质
)
can
make
you
go
a
long
way.
Most
of all,
personal satisfaction plays a
crucial role in both
thoughtful career
planning
and overall career
development.
19 Describe
your favorite
book
you read, and explain why it is
important
to
you.
Include
reasons
and
examples
to
support
your
response.
Of all
the wonderful books
,
The
Greatest Salesman in the World
is
the
book
that
I
can
never
put
it
down
and
had
a
transforming
effect
on my life.
It
is such a kind of book that inspires, that offers
practical tips
about goals, habits,
productivity
（本义：生产力，可引申为?多产
性，创造性?）
and more. To be
specific, it
’
s a book about
how to
empower and motivate yourself to
be successful
。
Many, many
people
have
read
this
book
and
many
of
them
have
reported
life-changing
（具
生命转折意义的）
results
from
the
positive
concepts
contained
within
it. They are pretty
inspiring. It surely is something that I can
depend
on
when
I
’
m
in
adversity
（逆境）
.The
principals
are
powerful
and really work for
me.
In this case,
I think
the book is very important to me even though
it might not work for some other
people.
20 Does television
play a positive or negative role in the modern
world?
Television is now
playing a very important part in our life. Like
other things, it has both advantages
and disadvantages. But I think
the
former
outweigh
the latter.
First ,
television keeps one
informed of current events, allows one
to
follow
the
latest
developments
in
science
and
politics,
and
offers
programs which are
both instructive and entertaining.
Second,
it
is
a
great
comfort
to
many
lonely
people
even
though
there
are many arguments against television.
Last,
education has improved
a lot since the arrival of TVat home.
Through TV a child can
extend
his knowledge and
sparkle
(
激发，鼓
舞
)
his
imagination.
Those
above
are
the
reasons
why
I
think
television plays a positive role in the
modern society.

Do
you
think
high
school
should
teach
music
and
art
as
other
basic
science?
Music
and
art
should
be
important
component
s
of
the
school
curriculum
because they have many uses besides
recreation. To study music is
to study
the basics. Through its study, students
come into contact
with
other basic areas of
the curriculum: math, science, social
studies, languages, and physical
education.
Apart
from
that
,
music,
like
reading,
writing
and
speaking,
conveys
thoughts,
ideas
and
feelings.
It
also
provides
an
avenue
for
developing self-expression and
creativity.
