1. 保护环境（一）
全世界的环境问题变得越来越严重。例如汽车污染的空气影响了人们的呼吸，工厂释放污染的气体，山上的树木被砍伐，污水不断被排人河里。另外，无论我们走到哪里，到处可见随意丢弃的垃圾。事实上，污染正威胁我们的生存。
地球是我们的家园，我们有责任为我们自己和我们的后代去照顾好它。庆幸的是，愈来愈多的人们已经意识到这些问题。政府已经采取了很多措施去解决这些问题，法律已被通过以制止污染。我希望这些问题在不远的将来能得到解决，我们的家园变得越来越好。
Protecting the Environment-
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers.Furthermore, wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. Pollution is, in fact, threatening our existence.
The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the government. Laws have been passed to stop pollution. I hope the problem will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.
2. 保护环境（二）
全世界的环境问题在变得越来越严重。随着工农业的发展，汽车制造噪音、排放毒气，山上的树木被砍伐，污水不断被排入河里。另外，无论我们走到哪里，到处可见随意丢弃的垃圾。整个地球生态平衡正在改变，环境的巨大破坏已带来负面影响，甚至对人类生存带来巨大威胁。
我们必须面对现实，采取行动解决环境问题。例如必须通过新的法律严格控制工业污染问题，大众必须接受污染危害的教育等。我们希望这些措施的有效实施能带给我们一个健康的环境
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. With the development of industry and agriculture, cars make GREat noises and give off poisonous gas. Trees on the hills have been cut down,and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore,wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. The whole ecological balance of the earth is changing. Massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even poses a great threat to man's existence.
We must face the situation that exists and take actions to solve our environmental problems. For instance, new laws must be passed to place strict control over industrial pollution, the pub!ic must receive the education about the hazard of pollution and so on. We hope that all these measures will be effective and bring back a healthful environment.

4. 英语的重要性
英语的重要性在于，它被世界上大多数国家作为语言交流的工具。例如一个德国人和一个中国人彼此都不会讲对方的语言，但他们都懂英语，于是他们之间的语言交流就不成问题。我们每个人都能够认识它的重要性，都能够认真学习。
要想学好英语，关键是背单词。单词是语言大厦的墙砖。认识了它们才能驾驭好他们。学好英语还要多听英语广播、多接触外国人，锻炼自己的听力，这样才能学有所用。
The importance of English rests with the language being used in most countries in the world as a communicating tool. For example, a German and a Chinese can't speak opposite side's language, but they both know English. And then there is no problem between their language communication. We must know the importance and learn the language earnestly.
The key to learn English well is to recite words. Words are the bricks of language building.Only keeping them in our mind, can we master them. To learn English well,we need to listen more English broadcast and contact with more foreingers so that we can practise our listening comprehansion. Only in this way, can we study for the purpose of application

6. 关于家乡变化的英语作文
寒假生活总是多采多姿 的，在寒假中，我学会了许多，看到了许多，也感受到了很多。但是，最让我感到惊讶的是，家乡的变化是如此之快。从黑白电视机到彩色电视机，从电话机到手机，从矮小、简陋的房屋到高大、豪华的别墅……家乡的变化真是举不胜举呀！
家乡的变化真快。以前，家里的房子很破旧，到处都有破损，甚至有的墙角还长出了青苔，发了霉。下大雨时，屋内也滴滴搭搭的下着小雨，这样的房子真不好住。而现在，家里的屋子很牢固，并且都有成套的设备，这些设备都很先进，有的甚至不用手动。而且，路两旁的高楼大厦如雨后春笋拔地而起。本文来自作文地带。
家乡的变化真快。以前，听妈妈说，那时候学校离家有十几里远，上学都是靠步行得走很长时间。有自行车骑车上学已经条件很不错了，不过，这样过去也对很长时间。要是到了下雨天，地上坑坑洼洼的，到了学校，水溅得衣服全是泥水，很脏。要是夏天，背个大书包去学校，衣服肯定全都湿了，还能拧出水来。而现在，家乡有了新的高科技——汽车，这样一来，即使再远的路，也丝毫不费脚力，也不用担心任何事情的发生。
家乡的变化真快。以前，穿的衣服总是破了补，补了再穿。而现在，每隔三差五的就买一套衣服。
家乡的变化真快。以前，吃的东西都是自己辛辛苦苦种的，等成熟了再挖来吃。而现在，人们都吃上了大鱼大肉。
家乡的变化真快，我相信不久的将来，我们将用我们的双手去创造出更好、更先进的设备，让人们真正地过上小康生活。让我们为了将来努力、奋斗吧！

Our English teacher, Ms Huang, came to our school in 1970. She has been an English teacher for more than 30 years. She works hard and has been a model teacher for many years.

8. 做一个好学生
Three attributes can help people in their studies. First, a sense of responsibility is important for building a sound character. If you aren't responsible, you'll postpone your assignments or devote too little time to your schoolwork.
Second, in school life, relationships between people are valuable. Friends can bring you happiness and laughter. In addition, you can discuss problems and pursue knowledge with them.
Last, it is important to have a constructive philosophy of life. If you are defeated, don't be disappointed. Try to face your life and your studies with courage and determination.
If you can work toward these goals, you'll become a well-rounded and versatile student instead of being a bookworm.

1、现状；
2、你对现状的感受；
3、你的建议
Dear Mum and Dad,
It seems that it has been a long time since we sat down to communicate with each other last time. There is no doubt that I am under the pressure of studying while you are busy with your own jobs. As a result, there is little possibility of us chatting to exchange ideas.
What makes me upset is not only plenty of homework but also our poor relationship. I think it’s time that some measures were taken to solve the problem.
Now, it’s obvious that homework always makes me tired out, so it is of great importance to keep myself in high spirits to get along well with you. In addition, whether our relationship can be improved depends to some extent on your efforts.
Mum and Dad, in spite of your busy jobs and my tough study load, we should spare some time to communicate with each other more. And what’s more important, let’s make use of our chatting time to solve the problems we meet in life and study.
I am firmly convinced that with our efforts, our family is sure to become a better place for us to enjoy each other.
Yours Sincerely,

10. 童年的回忆
请以“童年的回忆”为主题，叙述发生在你的童年的一件事，谈谈这件事情对你的影响或启示
Memory resembles a packet of chocolate which has a variety of flavors. When it comes to my childhood, the time when I was in the countryside will first come into my mind.
I grew up in my grandmother’s home in a small village. It was in that period of time that I enjoyed my beautiful childhood. It is such an unforgettable experience for a child that I still can recall it.
… …
From my point of view, one’s childhood memory is a big fortune in his life time. So I will bear it in my mind as a precious present.
There is no doubt that one’s childhood memory makes a great difference to his growth.
Facing the new teacher and classmates, I was at a loss what to say and felt on pins and needles. Instead of talking with them, I kept silence all day long.
So depressed was I that I hoped not to go to school again.
When it comes to my childhood, what impresses me most is my special experience of leaving home to …
. Not until my father …did I realize when I met with difficulties, I should spare no effort to deal with it well.
That day was worth remembering, which made me believe that everyone had his or her own talent waiting for us to discover.
Gone are the days when I learned to …, but what I get from it will stay in my mind forever.
I treasure this experience in my childhood because I took a big step in my life.
11. 看图作文
Directions: Write an English composition in 120 – 150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.
下图是小学新生的课堂一角，对照你当时的上课情况，作出比较并谈谈你的感受。你的作文必须包括：
●描述图片里学生上课的场景
●比较你同时期的上课情况
●简单谈谈你的感受
As is shown in the picture, a group of foreign students are raising their hands to give answers to the question in a joyful and active way.
Compared with their performance, the classes when I was a pupil were far from active. Hardly did classmates raise their hands; instead, we stayed quiet in class, keeping taking notes and listening to what teacher was talking in a careful way. For my part, the following reason can account for this phenomenon.
What matters most is the education system in China. The first day we become the primary student, our teachers make it a rule that we put our hands back and stay quiet in class. In addition, lecture-model teaching is the traditional way in Chinese class. Teacher is the leading actor or actress and student is always the supporting roles. Gradually we get into the habit of staying quiet in class and lose the ability to raise questions and give the answers.
From what has been outlined above, there is no doubt that Chinese and foreign students are different from each other in the way of study and we should learn from each other to improve our study.
12. 图表作文：
向同学、朋友说58%；自己独立解决33%；向老师家长说9%
最近学校在高中学生中做了一次“有烦恼向谁说”(To whom do you go when in trouble) 的调查活动，调查结果如图所示。请你简要描述调查结果，并结合自己的选择，谈谈想法和理由。
A survey on “To whom do you go when in trouble” has been conducted in many high schools recently. As is shown in the chart, the students who choose to turn to their friends when meeting with trouble account for 58%, followed by 38% students who regard solving problems on their own as the best choice.
For my part, I am among the minority of students who tend to ask a favor of parents and teachers. And the reasons can be listed as follows.
First of all, compared with our friends, there is no doubt that parents and teachers are more capable of solving our problems on account of their life experience.
In addition, it is our parents and teachers that have a clear idea of our characters and problems, which can ensure effective and timely help and advice.
Furthermore, the more we communicate with our parents and teachers, the smaller the generation gap will be. Bear in mind that under no circumstances should we
neglect to enhance the relationship with them.
Taking all these factors into account, I am firmly convinced that it is a better choice to ask parents and teachers for help.
13. 读了居里夫人的这段话，你有何感想？请结合生活中的具体事例对你的观点加以说明
From what Madame Curie said, it is evident that not only must we work to do something well, but we must also believe ourselves.
As we all know, the more diligent you are,
the sooner you will succeed. For example, Edison had a large number of inventions. There is no doubt that he was more hardworking than others. It is hard to imagine how Edison managed to work for twenty hours every day. So it must be kept in mind that there is no secret of success but hard work.
What’s more, it is the confidence that adds a brilliant touch to the growth of yourselves. We have every reason to believe that confidence plays an important part in success and benefits us a lot in our life. So much emphasis should be put on building up confidence to help us to be successful.
In summary, only by hard work and believing in yourselves can you do something that is worth doing well.

假如你是王跃华，请写一封信给世博会组织机构，申请参加一项志愿者服务，并根据你的性格、爱好、兴趣或特长，谈谈你申请该项志愿者服务的理由，以及在此期间你打算做什么。
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to apply to be an assistant guider in the expo site to do my own part in making the Shanghai Expo a successful one.
As is known to all, being an assistant guider, not only should we have a warm heart, but it is also necessary to be open and good at communication. Fortunately, I think my kindness and good communication skill enable me to do the job. In addition, it is my good command of English that gives me the idea of becoming an assistant guider since the expo is an international activity.
If I have the honor, there is no doubt that I’ll try my best. First of all, I’ll learn the routes in the expo site by heart so that I can lend a helping hand to anyone who is in trouble. In addition, to leave a good impression on the visitors, smile is necessary and important. Only with a smile can we make visitors feel my passion.
I would appreciate it if you could give me the chance. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours Sincerely,

15.奉贤区：
I think it is right to fire her, though she is now good at the job. Her fake diploma does help her, but it also does harm to others. It is unfair for others to compete in the job hunting. So I think honesty should come first. Nowadays, more and more students tend to cheat in exams. I think it is a serious problem. Though you can get higher marks and be praised by others, you should clearly realize that it does harm to others and even yourself. The fame is temporary and you won’t get real knowledge.
In a word, we should be honest and honesty must come first.
Personally, I am in favor of the company’s decision on firing the woman. Abilities are not always the most important, though one’s personality of being honest is what really matters. If the woman was no laid off, no one could guarantee that she wouldn’t go against honesty any more.
Society calls for honesty. When accepting someone as a friend, one will always take his honesty, rather than abilities into account. However, some of our own actions are the same case with that young woman. Take cheating in exams for example. Have you ever cheated in exams? Most of your answers to this question, I think, are “yes”, but are the marks really worth selling your honesty out?
A fake diploma will not always help, but the personality of being honest will go with you forever and make things smooth. Now have you attached importance to honesty? Have you made up your mind to be an honest man?
16. 普陀区：
Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about your discussion on setting off fireworks. We discussed the advantages and disadvantages of setting off fireworks during the festivals, especially the Spring Festival. 25 girls and 25 boys participated in the discussion. As a result, 50% of them believe that setting off fireworks certainly adds pleasure and joy to the festival, therefore, it is a wonderful tradition. And at the same time, we must protect our traditional holidays. But another 40% of the students think that setting off fireworks causes air and noise pollution, and what’s more, it sometimes causes terrible accidents to us and to our property. The other 10% have never thought about it or don’t care a bit.
In my opinion, setting off fireworks should be limited to certain areas and time.
I don’t like setting off fireworks at random at any time and any places, because it’s noisy and dangerous to kids. I think the best way is the government or some related organization setting off fireworks at certain place at certain time, not inorganizedly setting off fireworks by individual person or family.
Thus it can avoid the above disadvantages.
Yours truly,
17. 嘉定区：
We are going to take the College Entrance Exam in less than one year. However, many students still don’t know how to coordinate their study, rest and physical exercise when preparing for the Exams. They usually devote too much time to their study, which results in poor health and low efficiency of learning.
As the proverb goes, early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. We’d better leave ourselves enough time to sleep since it enables us to learn our lessons more efficiently. What’s more, a strong and healthy body is the base for our further study and our future work and creative activities.
Therefore, as we are preparing for the Exams, don’t forget that rest, exercise and study are equally important.

A recent survey shows what the students of our school like to do in their spare time.
(A possible version)
A recent survey shows what the students of our school like to do in their spare time. From the pie chat, we can see 53% of the students like sports, so doing sports is the most popular activity in our school. The second popular activity for students is surfing the Internet and 36 % of the students have interest in it. Only a few students, about 8 percent of them, take reading as a hobby. And even fewer are fond of playing musical instruments.
In my point of view, our school should have more sports facilities built to satisfy the need of the students. Guidance should be given to students on surfing the Internet and ways must be found to arouse students’ interests in reading and music.

假如你是李华。你将代表学校参加国际中学生论坛，就你所在城市的教育状况发表演讲。请根据以下两幅图表，介绍你市高中学生构成情况及毕业去向的选择，并针对两幅图表中的任何一个数据所反映的情况发表你自己的看法。
Ladies and gentlemen,
I’m Li Hua. Today, I am greatly honored to speak here on behalf of my school. I’m going to talk about the high school education of my city.
As Chart 1 shows, high school students are from different family backgrounds, which makes up 91％ local students, 8％ children of non- local workers and 1％ foreign students.
Chart 2 tells us that students after graduation have a wider variety of choices. 6％ of them intend to go to universities. 30％choose to enter vocational schools, and 10％ plan to go abroad for further studies.
With the development of our city, going to college is no longer the only choice for most of us and our city government has helped the children of non-local workers enjoy the equal rights of a good education with city students and more children of foreign investors in China are sent to local schools to learn about China and the Chinese culture.
I believe the future of the education in our city is promising!
That’s all. Thank you.

Dear Editor，
With the development of economy，it’s more and more important to have a good command of English. I think it is quite necessary that listening test should be added to the College Entrance Examination.
As we know，in the study of English，listening is very important.Listening，speaking，reading and writing are the four basic parts of learning a foreign language.Without listening，we
can’t get along well with the others.Furthermore，the English examination itself wouldn’t be complete and perfect if there weren’t listening test in it.It also can’t reflect the overall ability of the students in learning a foreign language.What’s more，in communication with foreigners，if we can’t understand what they say，how can we express ourselves freely?
So we must take advantage of every chance to practise listening to develop our English to meet the needs of our society.
Yours sincerely，
Li Ming

五一_My May Day Holiday
I had a great time throughout my May Day Holiday.
On Monday, I went BBQ with my classmates who threw a celebration party at our middle school principle's flat. Our parents were invited to the party. Everybody was excited about the holiday. I ate a lot of delicious food at that time.
On Tuesday, I went visiting my uncle's family with my parents. We went to celebrate our good time at a fancy restaurant in Shanghai. Later that day, we sang karaoke in my uncle's house. We stayed for the night.
On Wednesday, I went shopping with my cousins. We bought some brand name t-shirts and pants. In the afternoon, my cousins gave me a fun ride on the city highway. They also taught me how to drive their fancy car, so I tried to do some turning and parking. It was not easy first. But I learnt quick.
On Thursday, we returned home with many gifts from our trip. I tried to get some rest. At night, I chatted with my classmates on the phone, and I watched CCTV before going to bed.
From Friday on, I started to finish up my homework assignments on my personal laptop. Some of my assignments were quite boring. After I finished the homework, I emailed them to my teachers. That was the end of it. I started to prepare things for school on this coming Monday.
All in all, I enjoyed my May Day Holiday in many ways.

最近，你校同学针对是否应该每天留家庭作业进行了讨论。讨论详情见下表。请根据表格内容为你校的校刊写一篇英文报道，并表明你自己的看法。
? 70% of the students think they should do daily homework. They think homework helps them review and practise what has been taught in class. Students can better understand and memorize their lessons by doing daily homework. What’s more, their skills in managing time can also improved through homework .
? On the other hand, about 30% of the students think they shouldn’t do daily homework. They believe that homework reduces their amount of leisure time with their families, not mention the time for their activities. What’s worse, with a lot of homework to do, students feel tired, therefore, will lose interest in their lessons.
? From my point of view, daily homework is necessary,but it must serve a purpose and be fit for a student ability.Alao, the amount of homework should be limited, for a student’s all-aroud development is more important than anything alse in his or her life.

Dear Headmaster,
I'm writing to tell you the discussion we've had on whether the school should organize a spring outing for the students.
Opinions on the question are divided as follows:70% of the students think that the school should organize the spring outing. They believe that the spring outing can make them enjoy the nature's beautiful scenery, which can broaden our vision and fill us with more knowledge. They also say that the air in the open fields is fresher. What's more, fresh air does a lot of good to our health.
On the other hand, 30% don't like the idea of going out for a spring outing. In their opinions, time is very precious, so they have to grasp every minute to work hard at their lessons. Besides, traveling costs a lot. In that case, it will add to their families' burden. Above all, no one can be sure of the safety of every student.

假设近日你在网上参加了一场关于高考英语是否应该一年多考的讨论，人们对此见解不一。请根据下表提示，用英语写一篇稿件，简述两种观点并表明你的态度。
Recently I have joined in a discussion on the Internet about whether more MET opportunities should be provided each year.
Of course, different people have different opinions on the issue. Some are in favor of this idea. They think that more test opportunities each year meets the need for MET reform. It allows students to have more chances and also helps reduce the stress of both parents and students.
However, others express their worries about it. They believe that more test opportunities each year will add a burden to both students and teachers. Besides, it will be a waste of money, labor and other social resources.
As far as I am concerned, the more chances， the better. More test opportunities each year will improve the fairness of MET.

假设你是红星中学学生李华，上周参加了学校组织的“京郊美丽乡村”展示活动，为此，你与父母一起去感受了乡村的变化。请根据下列四幅图的先后顺序，给美国笔友Peter写信，介绍你参加此次活动的全过程。
Sunday morning, my parents and I went to the suburbs to get some information for my poster. On arriving at the destination, we were impressed by the beautiful scenery and people’s living conditions. I took many photos. Then we chatted with a farmer, who told us about the changes these years. They now can get online to learn agricultural science and trade their products. And in spare time they can enjoy various leisure activities, like playing table tennis and chess. The next day I put my pictures and an article on the school wall newspaper. I feel proud of the development of our country.

假定你是李华。你的澳大利亚朋友Dick听说中国正在采取措施，减轻中小学生的课业负担。他来信询问有关的情况。请根据表格中的内容给他写一封回信，谈谈减负给你的学习和生活带来的变化。 reduce learning load
Dear Dick,
How nice to hear from you again. You want to know what is going on in schools in China? In short, things have begun to improve since schools were called on to reduce learning load. I don't know about others, but I used to have to work even at weekends doing endless homework and attending classes as well. In the evening, I couldn’t go to bed until I finished my homework at 11:30 pm.
Now, however, I have more free time. I can follow my own interests such as reading books, visiting museums, and taking computer lessons. In the evenings I can watch news on TV or read newspapers. What's more, I can go to bed earlier. As far as I know, everyone is happy about this new arrangement of things. Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
