   1、北京奥运

  The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics logo has a single Chinese character on a traditional red Chinese seal. The English words "Beijing 2008" are written with a Chinese brush below it. At the bottom of the picture, there are the five rings of Olympic Games. The figure in the logo resembles a runner or dancer and the Chinese character "jing" which means "capital".
  The image carries the message that today's China is not only a nation with a long and glorious history, but also one full of modern dynamics1. First and foremost, this logo is a journey to the future, the emblem2 for China moving towards the 2008 Olympic Games. What is more, it is a symbol of the city's promise to make the Games a success. Accordingly, this emblem represents the heart of an ancient culture embracing the modern world, the spirit of a people moving towards a new destiny.
  In my view, first of all, the Olympic Game represents the spirit of sports. Arms flung wide, it invites all people and the world to share in the city's history, beauty, energy, and its future. In addition, it is a gesture of friendship and hope that the community of nations will unite in peace through sports.
  参考译文
  北京2008年夏季奥运会会徽在传统的红色中国印章上刻着一枚汉字。汉字下方用中国毛笔书写了“北京2008”的英文字样。图画底部是奥运的五环标志。会徽中的人物象征了一位跑步者或舞蹈者,而汉字“京”的意思是“首都”。
  这一会徽表达了当今的中国不仅个拥有悠久灿烂的历史国度,更是一个充满了现代活力的国家。首先,这一会徽是一次奔向未来之旅,是中国迈向2008年奥运会的象征。其次,它是北京承诺将成功举办奥运的标志。因此,这一会徽代表了一种悠久文化拥抱现代世界的信心,以及中国人民迈向新征程的精神。
  在我看来,奥林匹克运动会首先代表了体育的精神。它伸展了双臂邀请全世界及其人民分享北京的历史、魅力、能量及未来。此外,它是友谊的象征,以及希望国际社会通过体育运动进而和平共处。
  2、留学
  Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Studying Abroad. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:
  1)目前很多中国学生出国留学;
  2)出国留学的好处;
  3)我的看法。
  Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents. Importance should be attached to studying abroad.
  There are a great many advantages of studying overseas. First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values. What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.
  Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have. Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating3 and painful as it may be, is conducive4 to the growth of adolescents.
  3、网络
  Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Internet. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
  1、互联网使用的现状;
  2、大学生是否应该使用互联网,人们的看法不同;
  3、我的看法。
  In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet. As is known to all, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs.
  On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life. As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted5 to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome6 lifestyle.
  Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. After all,Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle7 us with a chain.
  4、考试
  Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Views on Examinations. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
  1)大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩;
  2)考生可能带来的副作用;
  3)我对考试的看法。
  In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently8, its side effects are also enormous.
  To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable9 effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.
  In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
  5、老师
  Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The most unforgettable Teacher I ever Know. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
  1)我生活中最难忘的老师是……
  2)为什么他(或她)令我难以忘怀;
  3)结论。
  In my life I have met a great many teachers who are really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable one I ever know is my English teacher.
  What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening10 of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation11 of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field. Second, I was attracted by his lively wit. I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles12 or loud laughs.
  Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.
  6、求学信
  Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter applying for admission into a college or university. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:

  8、投诉信
  Directions: You live in a room in college which you share with another student. You find it very difficult to work there because your roommate always has friends visiting. Write a letter to the Accommodation Officer at the college.
  1)要求下学期换一个新房间;
  2)解释原因;
  3)要求单间。
  Dear Sir or Madam,
  I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next semester. I would prefer a single room, as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient15.
  I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate’s inconsiderate behavior. For one thing, his friends are constantly visiting him; for another, he regularly holds noisy parties. In these circumstances, I find it difficult to concentrate on my studies, and I am falling behind in my assignments.
  I am sure you will agree that the only solution is for me to move into a room of my own. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.
  Yours sincerely,
  Li Ming
  9、致辞
