【预测范文】
In recent decades, some people have
become increasingly concerned that China’s
cultural heritage
could become
marginalized or even disappear entirely. In my
opinion, however, the traditional Chinese
culture is not only certain to survive,
but, in fact, is destined to thrive and prosper.
One factor that has already
begun to contribute to the preservation of
C
hina’s traditional culture is its
commercialization. For instance, since
China’s opening
-
up to the
outside world, China’s acrobatic,
theatrical and opera troupes have
emerged as burgeoning tourist industries. Another
reason that the
future of China’s
ancient culture can be considered “safe” is the
active efforts to protect it on the part of
the Chinese government. As an
illustration, traditional arts, such as
calligraphy, dance and music, are
often
taught as a mandatory element of young children’s
education
, ensuring that they grow up
with an
awareness of their cultural
roots. Finally, the culture of China is buttressed
and supported by
widespread and growing
international interest in China and its
traditions.
As a result of
successful commercialization efforts, unwavering
government support and growing
interest
overseas, the future of China’ traditional culture
looks brighter and more secure than ever
before. (191 words)

最近几十年来,一些人已越来越担心中国的文化遗产可能会边缘化或者完全消失。不过在我看
来,中国传统文化不仅肯定会存活,事实是,它必将繁荣兴盛。
已经开始对中国传统文化的保存做出贡献的一个因素是其自身
的商业化。例如,自从中国对外开
放以来,中国的杂技团、剧团和歌剧团已经开始快速发
展为旅游产业。中国古老文化可被视为
“
安
全
”
的另一个原因是中国政府做出的保护文化的积极努力。
例如,传统的艺术,比如书法、舞蹈和
音乐,经常作为儿童教育的必修课在学校教授,保
证他们成长过程中能意识到他们的文化根源。
最后,中国文化得到越来越广泛的对中国和
其传统感兴趣的国际上的扶持和支撑。
由于成功的商业化努力,政府坚定不移的支持和不断增长的海外兴趣,中国传统文化的将来会比
过去任何时候更明朗、更安全。

Directions:

预测范文
In the picture above is an
editor talking with an author in an editorial
department. Sitting in a chair
comfortably and holding a mobile phone
in his hand, the former is asking the latter to
condense her
novel in 140 characters to
appeal to adolescents.
The
purpose of the drawing is to show us that due
attention should be paid to reading. Firstly, a
good
book is our faithful friend. It
can increase our contentment when we are cheerful
and happy, and lessen
our pain when we
are sad or lonely. Furthermore, reading can also
offer us a wide range of experiences.
In reading we may join tourists
marveling at incredible power of Niagara Falls,
mingle with the happy
throngs strolling
in the Paris boulevards and experience the
bitterness or joy of people in different lands
and in different times. Few of us can
travel far from home or live long over one
hundred, but all of us
can live many
lives through the pages of books.
Though with the advent of TV and
Internet, books are no longer read as extensively
as they once were,
nothing can replace
the role that reading extensively plays in our
lives.
