保护地球和奥运会两篇
1. Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to
write a composition on the topic Human Activity& the Earth. You
should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the
outline given in Chinese below:
1. 有些人认为人类的行为把地球变得更美好
2. 也有人认为人类的行为给地球带来了破坏
3. 你的观点
Human activity & the Earth
The quality of human life has improved greatly over the past few
centuries, but Earth is being harmed more and more by human
activity. As we develop our technology, we demand more from our
planet. Eventually, this will harm people as well.
Our planet gives us everything we need, but natural resources are
not endless. Strip mining devastates whole regions, leaving bare and
useless ground. Deforestation removes old growth trees that cant be
replaced. Too much fishing may harm fish populations to the point
where they cant recover. We are too careless in taking what we want
without giving anything back.
There are more people than ever, living longer that ever. So is it
any surprise that many areas suffer from too much development?
Anyone living in or near a city has experienced "urban sprawl".
There is a new shopping area on every corner and new houses,
townhouses and apartments everywhere. Traffic gets worse and worse
because planners cant keep up with growth. Keeping up with human
demand is hard enough. Environmental concerns come in last.
With growth comes pollution. Companies and communities dump waste
into water. Landfills are full of trash. Emissions from factories
pollute the air. Barrels of industrial waste and worse, radioactive
waste, have no safe place to go. If were not careful, we can harm
our planet beyond repair.
People need to respect the Earth and try to preserve it. If we
dont, what kind of future will we have?

speech in support of the 2008 Olympic Games in the name of the
student union. You should write at least 120 words following the
outline given below in Chinese:
1. 奥运会即将于明年在北京
2. 举行奥运会的重大意义
3. 我们应该为奥运做些什么
Dear Friends, Fellow classmates,
The exciting moment, I am convinced, must remain vivid in our mind,
when Beijing, the Capital of China, was proclaimed the final winner
to host the Olympic Games in 2008 by Chairman of the International
Olympic Committee. Time flies, and the new Olympics is coming very
soon!
Olympic Games, held every four years, boast a long history and offer
rare opportunities for different nations to get together, which are
far more than sports contests participated by professional athletes.
Through Olympics, new world records are set, resilient sportsmanship
is highlighted, sport-related industries spring up and international
goodwill and exchange get greatly enhanced.
As college students, we ought to contribute our share to the
imminent Olympic Games with responsibility of citizenship as well as
focused knowledge. For instance, it is advisable to give voluntary
lectures to popularize Olympic knowledge and environmental awareness
in some residen
