The international community must act immediately to ensurethat allcountries reduce the consumption of fossil fuels (e.g. Gas and oil).To whatextent do you agree or disagree? 國際組織是否應(yīng)立即采取行動來確保所有國家減少化石能源的消耗?
思路提點
反對
1.減少化石能源的使用量與當前社會能源需求增加的趨勢(energy demandsare increasing in current society)不符(goes against)。這就意味著減少化石能源的使用將會破壞現(xiàn)目前平衡的社會秩序(maintain awell-balanced social order)。
2.其次，替代能源的缺乏(the lack ofalternative energy resources)使得減少化石能源的使用不太現(xiàn)實。
贊成

由私人企業(yè)贊助的優(yōu)點
1. 體育事業(yè)可以有更好的發(fā)展，企業(yè)可以同時提高自己的知名度(boost or drivetheir images)，打響品牌名(create brandname awareness)，加強和改善自己在公眾心理的形象(reinforce or modifyits image in the public eye)，實現(xiàn)雙贏
2.私人機構(gòu)管理比較有效，避免體育機構(gòu)濫用國家下?lián)艿捏w育專項經(jīng)費為自己謀取利益(some sportsorganizations may misuse the money allotted for their own benefit)
3. 私人可以贊助組織多場比賽，提高運動員的實戰(zhàn)技術(shù)和水平，增加在國際比賽上的露面機會(internationalexposure)

不同意

Research shows that overeating can be just as harmful as smoking. Thus theadvertising of certain food products should be banned, as cigar is banned inmany countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 研究表明進食過量和吸煙一樣有害，所以部分食物的廣告應(yīng)該被禁止。你是否同意這個看法?

不應(yīng)該禁止廣告
但是僅僅是禁止某些廣告并不會完全杜絕過度飲食 (overeating)。本地的快餐店和超市也要為這個不健康的飲食習(xí)慣負責(zé)。本地的市場很難買到新鮮水果和蔬菜，也使得人們會吃更多的垃圾食品和熟食 (processedfood)，因為他們更加方便。

2.在家辦公節(jié)約時間(time saving)，節(jié)省在路上上下班的時間(cut the time spent oncommuting)，尤其是高峰時刻(rush hour)，遇到堵車(traffic block)的時候，在家辦公可以大大縮短交通時間，從而提高員工效率 (enhance working efficiency)。

思路提點
不同意
手機和電腦給人們提供先進的溝通方式，和面對面(face-to-face)交流類似，因為人們可以通過在線視頻對話(video-chatting)的方式進行溝通。另外，手機和電腦給人們帶來大量的最新信息(up-to-dateinformation)，促進了面對面溝通。與過去的人相對比，現(xiàn)代的人能夠通過這種渠道更快更全面的獲取信息，從而更加多的溝通。

If a product is good or it meets people needs, people will buyit. So advertising is unnecessary and no more than an entertainment. To whatextent do you agree or disagree? 產(chǎn)品的銷量取決于是否滿足人們的需求，所以廣告變得沒有必要，只不過是種娛樂。是否同意這種說法?
思路提點
1.確實，產(chǎn)品成功，從銷量上來說(interms of sales performance)，取決于(hinges on)產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量和功能。然而廣告是高銷量背后的主要推動力(themain driving force behind)。廣告能進行產(chǎn)品促銷，增加公司的銷售額。Advertisingleads to sales promotion of a company which usually results in increasing thesales volume of the company.

思路提點
個人
人們很多活動及行為都能保護環(huán)境(Protectionof the environment is needed from various human activities)比如，減少材料和包裝的消耗，購物時自帶可重復(fù)使用的袋子，保持傳統(tǒng)。盡可能重復(fù)使用(reusematerials where possible) ，毛巾(washcloth)就不會像包裝的濕紙巾(packagedtowelettes)那么浪費(not as wasteful as). 盡量少(minimize)使用一次性電池及其他一次性物品(disposablebatteries and other items)，都會成為有毒廢料(toxic waste)。

Some people say that professional workers such as doctors,nurses and teachers make greater contribution. So they should be paid more thanthose sport and entertainment persons. To what extent do you agree or disagree?一些人認為專業(yè)人士比如醫(yī)生護士和老師對社會貢獻大，收入應(yīng)該比體育娛樂明星多，是否同意?
思路提點
不合理
運動員和明星具有高額的收入(sportsprofessionals, film stars, pop musicians are paid huge salaries)，相比之下，教師、護士及研究人員收入平平(teachers,nurses, laboratory researchers are never listed among the best-paidprofessionals)，甚至是科學(xué)家(researchscientists)和政治家(leadingpoliticians)都無法企及，因此很多人覺得他們賺錢容易(earntheir fortunes so quickly)。他們與默默無私奉獻的其它職業(yè)之間的收入的差異是不合理的(Thegaps between their earnings and those of people who work less selfishly for thegood of society cannot be justified)。很多位社會做貢獻的職業(yè)也應(yīng)該(be much better appreciated andbetter paid)。
合理
高收入反映的是體育的一種公眾流行程度(publicpopularity)。擁有真正天賦的職業(yè)運動員數(shù)量極少(thenumber of professionals with real talent is very few)，薪酬體現(xiàn)了對于為成功而必須擁有的技能和貢獻的認可(themoney is a recognition of the skills and dedication)。相對短暫的職業(yè)生涯里(in theirrelatively short career)，職業(yè)巔峰期短暫(don’thold their top positions long)，很快就會被人取代(bereplaced)。競爭無處不在(Competitionis constant)來自媒體的壓力很大(Thepressure from the media is intense)，幾乎無隱私可言(there is little privacy out of thespotlight)。

思路提點
導(dǎo)致貧富差距
不是錢而是科技缺乏導(dǎo)致貧困 itis not money but technology that drives prosperity. 更甚，科技的缺乏使貧困無法擺脫。poverty is driven and sustained by a lack of technology.
科技可以是掠奪資源的工具
technology can be used as a tool of oppression. 一個國家的科技進步(technologicaladvancement)使之對貧困國家的自然資源進行掠奪(hasallowed it to exploit natural resources)。富國的人才資本積累(the accumulation of intellectualcapital) 使差距拉大(broadenthis gap)，因為他們控制了先進的技術(shù) because it hasenabled them to control technology

思路提點

限制媒體中的犯罪細節(jié)可能有助于減少犯罪率的上升abatethe rise of crimes，尤其是年輕人會變得aggressive，并且會模仿所看到的情節(jié)。研究表明電視上的暴力可促使人們有攻擊性的行為Studiesshow that TV violence encourages aggressive behavior，接觸得越多，行為就越具有攻擊性themore violence viewed, the greater the likelihood of aggressive behavior。他們變得麻木They becomedesensitized。孩子不僅會認為暴力是可以接受的，他們甚至?xí)植佬袨榛虮┝ψ兊寐槟?。Notonly do children learn that violence is acceptable, they also become immune ornumb to the horror of violence itself.
反方
然而，限制媒體上的犯罪細節(jié)侵犯了大眾的知情權(quán)violatethe public’s right to know，讓人們覺得生活的環(huán)境是安全的，缺少社會真正的了解，削弱了人們的危機意識weakenthe awareness of crisis。

國家資助對研究生科研的作用
有了政府的資助,可以買更多的先進科研設(shè)備(Cutting-edgeresearch facilities can be available with fund from government.) 可以雇傭更多有經(jīng)驗的老師,以此提高教學(xué)質(zhì)量。(Moreexperienced teaching staff can be recruited, thereby improving teachingquality)

Some people think zoos are cruel and all the zoos should beclosed. However, some people think zoos are useful to protect the rare animals.Discuss both views and give your opinion.一些人認為動物園是很殘忍的應(yīng)該關(guān)閉，另外一些人認為動物園可以幫助保護動物。討論雙方觀點并給出自己的觀點。
思路提點
正方
1.在人工環(huán)境下保護動物是動物園的主要目的(Protectinganimals in artificial environment is the main purpose of zoos.)。動物, 特別是珍稀動物rare animals 在滅絕(die out)前正面臨被保護的迫切需要(in urgentneed of )。
2.動物園也可作為⼈們對動物屬性和生存條件的教育基地 (Zoos also function asplaces where people can be educated about the attributes of animals andspecific conditions in which they can survive.)。動物園也發(fā)揮了科研的重要作用。
3.在動物園里, 科學(xué)家們可以對動物進行持續(xù)和有系統(tǒng)的實驗(conductcontinuous and systematic experiment) , 看看他們在什么樣的條件下可以住得舒適。這有助于保護珍惜動物免遭滅絕。
反方
出于娛樂人類目的的動物園沒有存在的理由。人類為了欣賞動物的萌態(tài)，強行把他們抓進動物園，保存多物種，這對動物所產(chǎn)生的身體和尊嚴傷害是可恥的。

不合理
運動員和明星具有高額的收入(sportsprofessionals, film stars, pop musicians are paid huge salaries)，相比之下，教師、護士及研究人員收入平平(teachers,nurses, laboratory researchers are never listed among the best-paidprofessionals)，甚至是科學(xué)家(researchscientists)和政治家(leadingpoliticians)都無法企及，因此很多人覺得他們賺錢容易(earntheir fortunes so quickly)。他們與默默無私奉獻的其它職業(yè)之間的收入的差異是不合理的(Thegaps between their earnings and those of people who work less selfishly for thegood of society cannot be justified)。很多位社會做貢獻的職業(yè)也應(yīng)該(be much better appreciated andbetter paid)。
合理
高收入反映的是體育的一種公眾流行程度(publicpopularity)。擁有真正天賦的職業(yè)運動員數(shù)量極少(thenumber of professionals with real talent is very few)，薪酬體現(xiàn)了對于為成功而必須擁有的技能和貢獻的認可(themoney is a recognition of the skills and dedication)。相對短暫的職業(yè)生涯里(in theirrelatively short career)，職業(yè)巔峰期短暫(don’thold their top positions long)，很快就會被人取代(bereplaced)。競爭無處不在(Competitionis constant)來自媒體的壓力很大(Thepressure from the media is intense)，幾乎無隱私可言(there is little privacy out of thespotlight)。
