第五篇：模拟题——旅游与技术 Is International Tourism Beneficial?News has reported that Australia tourism has experienced significant growth across a number of Asian markets with China remaining Australia’s biggest market outside of New Zealand, the latest International Visitor Survey (IVS) showed. Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb on Wednesday welcomed the results, saying tourism industry is vital in providing jobs for the Australians. “Tourism is Australia’s largest services export. The jobs of over 929,000 Australians are linked to tourism and the Coalition Government is committed to supporting tourism as a key job creation industry,” Robb said. These latest figures show that China is still Australia’s largest market, outside of New Zealand, with Chinese visitors increasing their expenditure in the Australian economy to 5.1 billion AU dollars (4.73 billion U.S. dollars), while we also remain very competitive in the challenging United States tourism market,” he said. However, with the booming of such overseas tourism, visitor behaviours can have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of the host community. For example, crowding and congestion, drugs and alcohol problems, prostitution and increased crime levels can occur. Tourism can even infringe on human rights, with local being displaced from their land to make way for new hotels or barred from beaches. Interaction with tourists can also lead to an erosion of traditional cultures and values. 参考答案（仅提供前半部分）： International tourism has become increasingly popular in Australia nowadays. With regard to the influence of this booming tourism, people’s views are widely divided. Some people believe such kind of travel is beneficial in terms of providing jobs and enhancing trade. However, others argue that this has a negative impact on the locals when it comes to potential crimes and local entitlements. 第六篇：预测1——校园类

• summarize the main message of the excerpt, and then• comment on what we should do to prevent the harmful effect of WeChat.Potential Risks of WeChatWeChat’s positioning function may bring potential risks to young people when they socialize with strangers. No one can deny the fact that it is very dangerous to let strangers know clearly our location since we do not know who they are and what they might do. In addition, the image and name of WeChat’s ID can be changed randomly. Criminals can change their images and names into yours and then it is quite possible for your friends to be cheated. What’s more, the wallet function of WeChat may bring about potential financial risks. Criminals may make use of these functions and steal the money in your WeChat wallet.参考例文：Nowadays, WeChat has gained popularity and exerted a huge impact on our life.Among the general public, there is a growing concern about the potential drawback of WeChat, especially in terms of personal security. Some people claim that WeChat may expose one’s location to strangers by positioning function, cheat one’s friends by faking identity, and lose one’s money in the electronic wallet.As far as I am concerned, while embracing the convenience of WeChat, we have to take measures to guard against its potential risks.To begin with, we could disable the positioning function to protect ourselves being detected; by requesting an audio or video clip, we could confirm our friend’s identity; and minimizing the amount of money in the WeChat account will definitely prevent one from a huge loss. Furthermore, it is noted that WeChat pays much attention to privacy. For example, if someone comments on your photo, nobody but mutual friends can see the messages. In this way, if we do not add strangers, we can keep our information safe and secure.In spite of the drawbacks, it goes to extreme to abandon an invention. As long as we are aware of the risks which are inherent in the software, we can safely enjoy the surprise brought by recently technological advancement.
第七篇：预测2——工作类Should students take a gap year to travel or work after finishing high school or go to university directly? This has been an intensely discussed question for years. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinion. Read carefully the opinion from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.
参考范文：Traditionally, students choose to go to university directly after graduating from high school. However, taking a gap year to travel or work has gained a growing popularity among high school graduates in recent years.Opinions vary greatly when it comes to whether students should take a gap year upon completing high school education. Some advocate that taking a gap year can help students better understand the world, enrich their social experience, and think clearly about their own career prospect. On the contrary, the opponents argue that during the gap year, students’ safety may be at risk, financial situation under stress, and their career in trouble.As the saying goes, “Every coin has its two sides”. There is no surprise that there remains a dispute about taking a gap year. However, as a college student, I am convinced that the advantages of taking a gap year will far outweigh the disadvantages. First and foremost, travelling or working can help students learn practical knowledge which would not be taught in school. Simultaneously, they will find out what they are lacking, which in turn aid in having greater control over their future studies. In addition, with information on the Internet, students’ curiosity will drive them to explore the unknown world. Interest is the best teacher.All in all, I firmly believe it is high time that we should advocate this lifestyle. We grown-ups should have our rights to choose our own lives.第八篇：预测3——文化类With the development of science and technology, especially the extensive utilization of the Internet, various kinds of new inventions and phenomena have appeared and many new words have emerged. The coined new words are prevalent among young students and the Internet users, but experts worry about their adverse effect on standard language. Should people create and widely use the coined Internet buzzwords? Read carefully the opinion from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.
参考范文：Internet has become an indispensable part of our life, and in recent years, an increasing number of buzzwords emerged into our vision.Many people regard these Internet buzzwords as shining stars, adding creativity and vitality to our language, and leading to more effective communication among young people. However, defenders of traditional language hold that Internet buzzwords are likely to get in the way of young people’s learning of standard language and can be difficult to understand for the elder generation. As far as I am concerned, while Internet buzzwords make some difference to our culture, they cannot become the mainstream of our culture. Internet buzzwords do make our communication funnier and more vivid. But they only enjoy a high popularity among students and youngsters, and cannot be accepted by the majority. Although Internet buzzwords bring a sense of novelty among users, they cannot be fully understood by all people in real life. Some of these words are beyond our acceptability and are confusing to comprehend. Moreover, such informal language may have adverse effect on the sound development of our language and culture if used in news and formal documents. In conclusion, I firmly believe that as the younger generation, we should assume the responsibility to purify our standard and maintain cultural purity. In this way, we should not widely use the Internet buzzwords without limits. 第九篇：预测4——道德类COMPOSITION
Recent surveys show that a lot of college students download papers from the Internet to save the trouble of doing the assignments. This kind of academic dishonesty does harm to the students. You are required to analyze its harmful effects and suggest some ways to prevent it. Write on ANSWER SHEET THREE a composition of about 200 words. 参考范文：It is shown in the recent surveys that many college students copy papers from the Internet to save the trouble of doing their assignments. In my opinion, this kind of academic dishonesty is very harmful to these students.First, copying papers from the Internet makes students lazy. Copying papers from the Internet seems easy and can save some time and trouble; therefore, students will do this more frequently and seldom work hard to complete their papers on their own. In other words, students will become lazier and lazier.Second, students can learn little from copying other’s work. Students cannot improve their abilities just by downloading paper from the Internet without their own thinking and working. What’s worse, once students get used to academic cheating, they may also cheat in other cases in the future, which will be very dangerous for them, especially when it is put down in the honesty record.Therefore, in order to prevent academic dishonesty on campus, some punishments by the school may be necessary. But the most important thing is that teachers should talk to those students, and make them aware of the fact that copying other’s work cannot bring them any knowledge and that only by working hard can they improve themselves.第十篇：预测5——技术类Nowadays, with the growing popularity of computers, more and more people are paying less and less attention to their handwriting. Look at the following picture carefully and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should describe the drawing briefly, interpret its intended meaning, and give your comments.
参考范文：This picture captures a critical moment that a man is having difficulty writing something on the paper with a pen. But because he has got used to writing with a mouse, he is so embarrassed that he does not know how to write with traditional writing tool.Simple as it is, what the picture is trying to convey is though-provoking: overdependence on computer leads to our forgetting of words. On the one hand,this phenomenon is not uncommon among young people. Nowadays, it is really no big deal for them to design a delicate resume or write and edit a document with a computer. When they are asked to write something with a pen, they may either write poorly or even forget how to write. On the other hand, people are becoming more and more dependent on computer, thus they write worse and worse. Many people consider handwriting no longer practical. With the help of a computer, it does not matter whether your handwriting is good or not. Actually, people today rarely pick up a pen to write anything.To solve this problem, we must open handwriting courses in schools of all level. Many other Asian countries have listed handwriting as a required course. As Chinese descendants, there is no reason for us not to learn to write Chinese well.
