Q1

1.What type of music do you enjoy most? Explain why you enjoy this type of music. Include reasons and details in you explanation.

参考答案：

I enjoy classic rock and roll from the 1960s and 1970s. My favorite bands are The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, but there are dozens of others that I love as well. Not only are the songs from that era extremely catchy and fun, but they kind of transport you to a different time when you listen to them. You feel the rebelliousness in the guitar solos and the yells of the lead singers. You feel the sheer energy of the era, which was spurred on by social events both good and bad. It was just a wild time back then! And listening to the rock music makes everything seem so immediate. No picture of the 1960s and 1970s is complete without the music. I never get tired of it.

2.Your university is planning to replace paper books and magazines in its library with electronic books. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this plan?

参考答案：

One of the advantages is that it can save a lot of space. Thousands of books could be stored in a single compact electronic device the size of a palm. Another advantage is that it can save a lot of trees from being cut down to make paper for books. However, there are some disadvantages too. For example, those electronic devices are run by batteries. so it might a bit inconvenient to recharge it all the time. Another disadvantage is that some of the electronic devices are quite expensive so not everyone could afford to buy one.

Q2:

1.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It's easier to teach children in primary schools than students in universities. Include reasons and details in your explanation.

参考答案：

I don’t agree with this opinion. I think it is more difficult to teach children in primary schools mainly because the discipline is harder to maintain. There may be many distractions for children that will keep them from learning, and they have a much shorter attention span. On the other hand, students in universities are better at self-motivation and discipline. They are also more aware of the importance of utilizing their time productively. There is a sense of urgency because it is all about their future. There are, of course, many distractions for university students as well, but as adults they are expected to know how to handle them.

2. Should the government spend money on projects which can encourage its citizens to lead a healthier lifestyle?

参考答案：

I agree because the costs of caring for unhealthy individuals are ultimately passed on to citizens. With each claim, the costs of health insurance, doctor’s visits, medicines, surgeries, and long-term care increases. So, if more individuals have an incentive to do preventive health care, less will be spent on avoidable medical care costs. An additional benefit is that preventative healthcare and healthier lifestyles might save lives. For instance, early detection of certain cancers can significantly reduce the risks of losing life or limb. Government funding to encourage healthier lifestyles is worthwhile.

Q3：

1.学校通知：学校因为文学课太受欢迎了，决定开晚课和增加一个班级人的数量。学生意见：男学生不同意，他说班上人一多，讨论的机会就少了，学生就学不到很多东西，还有就是晚课时间，学生都没有空，他们有很多activity和job都在晚上，所以晚课不现实。

参考答案：

The university announced that it’s going to make new class arrangements to meet the growing demand for the contemporary literature course which has become increasingly popular among students recently. According to this announcement, an additional evening session of the course will be provided and class size will be enlarged. In the conversation, the boy disagrees with this new arrangement and explains his reasons for holding such opinion. He says that the more students in a class, the less chance for each student to engage in class discussions, which are extremely important for the study of literature. Therefore the quality of the learning experience will be greatly reduced. Moreover, he argues that there is no point in adding an evening session because most students are not free in the evening. They have different kinds of social activities to do at night and many have an evening job so they will not be able to attend the evening class.

2.公开信:学校在考试复习期间举办什么娱乐活动，期间取消校内公交车，有人感到不满给校长写信，原因一是噪音影响在宿舍复习的人，原因二是取消校内公交车对要乘车的人很不方便。
学生意见:对话中女生认为这两个理由都没有说服力。首先要看书的人可以去图书馆看，不一定非要在宿舍，图书馆很安静。其次学校很小，去哪里都可以步行，不行横穿学校只要30分钟，况且公交车只取消几个小时而已，no big deal 然后题目是女生的观点理由是什么。

参考答案：

The student letter complains about the school’s upcoming entertainment event. It argues that that students who are studying for their final exams will be disturbed by the noise, and that the suspension of bus service during this event will also cause inconvenience to the students. In the conversation, however, the girl does not share the same view. She says that for those who want a quiet environment to study, they can do so at the school library. Furthermore, the school campus is not that big. You can walk across the campus in less than 30 minutes. Plus the bus service is only suspended for 30 minutes. It’s not a big deal.

Q4：

学术名词：exposure therapy,暴露疗法，如果一个人害怕一件事情，就尽可能让他暴露在自己所害怕的事物中，久而久之便会逐渐适应这个事物。

教授举例：教授以自己的孩子，说他们家搬到LA,孩子原来不敢和新小朋友玩，只敢趴窗上看，后来教授借买冰淇凌之机鼓励他向小朋友们问好，回来又问一次（两次间儿子表现已有所不同），回来后儿子甚至主动要求出去和他们一起出去玩，最终，教授的孩子和其他小朋友成为了好朋友。

参考答案：

exposure therapy is a technique often used to help children overcome fear and rebuild confidence by exposing children to the people or objects that they are afraid of. The professor further illustrates this term by using his own son Tommy as an example. Tommy was afraid of playing with other kids when his family had just moved to a new town in LA. To help Tommy overcome this fear, the professor asked him to buy an ice cream but wanted him to say hi to the kids on his way to the ice cream store. Tommy did so, and he also said hello to the kids on his way back. After this experience, Tommy was not afraid of kids in the new neighborhood anymore, and he even asked to play with them.
