尊敬的先生/女士：
我現(xiàn)在給您寫信以表示我愿意參加私家車問題的爭論并提出我的看法。
隨著生活水平的迅速提高，越來越多的中國人擁有自己的汽車。統(tǒng)計數(shù)字表明，僅北京就有162萬輛汽車，其中私家車達(dá)到56萬輛。汽車數(shù)量的增加產(chǎn)生了一系列問題，如空氣污染、噪音和交通堵塞。這樣就引起了一場爭論：中國是否應(yīng)該鼓勵私家車？人們對這個問題有不同的想法。
許多人反對擁有汽車。在他們看來，中國必須限止私家車。原因很明顯。首先，汽車加劇了空氣污染。中國的許多大城市空氣嚴(yán)重污染。如果人們都要擁有私家車，已經(jīng)污染的大氣將變得更臟。其次，私家車可能對中國業(yè)已擁護(hù)的交通狀況是一個可怕的威脅。如果更多的汽車開上繁華的街道，交通堵塞將會更嚴(yán)重。這對我們大家來說是公害。最后，汽車消耗大量燃料。雖然中國擁有豐富的石油資源，但是它們?nèi)遮厹p少。所有這些事實(shí)只能有一種解決辦法：限止日益增長的汽車數(shù)量。
我的看法是中國不應(yīng)該鼓勵私家車。為把清潔的空氣、寬闊安全的道路和富饒的石油資源留給子孫后代，我們對私家車只能說“不”。至于對交通工具的巨大需求，我們可以發(fā)展公交系統(tǒng)來代替私家車?？偠灾?，中國不需要私家車。
如果您需要對這個問題的進(jìn)一步評論，請速電告。我家的電話號碼是66661818。謝謝！
順致

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m writing to you to express my willingness to take part in the controversy on private cars and advance my views.
With the living standards rising rapidly, more and more Chinese people have cars of their own. Statistics show that in Beijing alone, there are 1620,000 cars, among which private cars add up to (=number) 560,000. the increase in the number of cars brings about a lot of problems, such as air pollution, noise and traffic congestion. Then a controversy arises: whether private cars should be encouraged in China? People differ in their ideas about it.
Many people are against owning cars. According to them, private cars have to be limited in China. The reasons for it are obvious. To begin with, cars contribute to air pollution. A lot of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. If people are to have cars of their own, the already contaminated atmosphere will get even dirtier. Secondly, private cars can be a dire threat to the already terrible traffic in China. If more cars are allowed onto busy streets, more traffic jams will happen, which is really a public hazard to all of us. Finally, cars consume a large amunt of fuel. Though China is rich in its oil resources, they are running out rapidly. All these facts allow of only one solution: to limit the ever growing number of cars.
In my opinion, private cars should be discouraged in China. To leave clean air, wide and safe roads and abundant energy resources to our descendants, we have to say “No” to private cars. As far as the great demand for means of transport is concerned, we can develop mass transit to take the place of private cars. In short, China does not need private cars.
If you require any further comment on the issue, please don’t hesitate to call me up. My home number is 66661818.
Thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Hua
15.第15篇(圖表提綱式作文)
Directions: Study the following graphs carefully and write an essay of about 200 words within 40 minutes. Your essay must meet the requirements below.
1. Write out the message conveyed by the graph.
2. Make an analysis of the strange phenomenon
3. Give your comments
正如上面兩張曲線圖所示，從1990年到1995年蛋類的平均價格不斷上升，并且其需求量也相應(yīng)增加。曲線圖還表明，從1995年到2000年期間蛋類價格下降，而且需量也下降。這種現(xiàn)象是很奇怪的并值得研究。根據(jù)市場經(jīng)濟(jì)法則，需求量增加會引起價格上漲。也就是說，當(dāng)價格上升時，需求就下降，而當(dāng)價格回落時，需求就增加。但是現(xiàn)在的現(xiàn)實(shí)恰好相反。
產(chǎn)生這種奇怪的現(xiàn)象的原意是很明顯的。從1990年到1995年期間隨著我國社會主義市場經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，人民的收入，其中包括工資、獎金和各種補(bǔ)貼迅速增加。雖然蛋類價格的需求量也急趨增加。另一方面，當(dāng)?shù)邦惖男枨筮_(dá)到某一點(diǎn)時，需求量就停止上升，因?yàn)槿藗冮_始把越來越多的錢花在衣著、娛樂和國內(nèi)外的旅游上。普遍認(rèn)為，從1995年到2000年旅游開支占我國人民總消費(fèi)量的很大一部分。因此，同期蛋類需求量的下降也似乎是合理的。
我的看法是， 由于家禽養(yǎng)殖業(yè)的不斷發(fā)展，蛋類價格很可能下降，因?yàn)閷Φ邦惖男枨笥邢蓿M(fèi)量的下降也是必然的。
As is shown by the two graphs above, the average price of eggs was on the rise from 1990 to 1995 and the demand for them increased correspondingly. The graphs also indicate that during the period from 1995 to 2000 the price eggs declined, and so did the demand. The phenomenon is quite strange and worth studying. According to the law of market economy, the increase in demand results in higher prices. That is to say, when prices climb, the demand decreases, and when prices fall, the demand grows. Now the reality was just the other way round.
The reasons for this strange phenomenon are obvious. During the period from 1990 to 1995 with the development of our socialist market economy people’s income, bonus and different kinds of benefits, increased rapidly. Though the price of eggs rose gradually, the demand for them grew sharply, too. On the other hand, when the demand for eggs reached a certain point, it stopped rising because people began to spend more and more money on clothing, recreations and tours round the country and even round the world. It is generally assumed that the expenses for tours accounted for a great part of the total consumption of the people in our country from 1995 to 2000. As a result, it seemed reasonable that the demand for eggs declined during the same period of time.
As far as I’m concerned, with the domestic poultry farming continuing to develop, the price of eggs is likely to decline because the demand for them is limited and the fall in consumption of them is also inevitable. (270 words)
16.第16篇(提綱式議論文)
Directions : In this part, you are to write an essay on “Opportunity and Success “. You should write about 200 words within 40 minutes on ANSWER SHEET2. Your essay should be based on the following outline:
1. Contingency (偶然性) of opportunity
2. Relationship Between opportunity and success
3. My view on opportunity
機(jī)不可失，時不再來。 機(jī)遇常常悄然而去。因此，奉勸諸君珍惜機(jī)遇，謹(jǐn)慎處之。
每當(dāng)機(jī)遇降臨，伴之而來的是成功的希望， 但是機(jī)遇不能自行實(shí)現(xiàn)成功。假如你要取得成就或要實(shí)現(xiàn)你的雄心壯志，你必須努力工作、艱苦奮斗、準(zhǔn)備好條件。否則，機(jī)遇來臨時你卻無法利用。顯然，為了能夠完全適應(yīng)我們未來的工作，我們必須做好一切可能的準(zhǔn)備。
成功者與失敗者之間的區(qū)別就在于處理機(jī)遇的態(tài)度。成功者做好充分準(zhǔn)備迎接機(jī)遇的適時來臨，而失敗者工作懶散，眼看著機(jī)遇悄然而過?？梢?，兩種不同的對待機(jī)遇的態(tài)度導(dǎo)致了截然不同的后果。
我的觀點(diǎn)時，在我們的社會里人人都有許多機(jī)遇，但是只有那些做好充分準(zhǔn)備并且高度稱職的人才能利用機(jī)遇達(dá)到自己目的。
Opportunities don’t come often. They come every once in a while. Very often, they come quietly and go by without being noticed. Therefore, it is advisable that you should value and treat them with care.
When an opportunity presents itself, it brings a promise but never realizes it on its own. If you want to achieve something or intend to fulfill one of your ambitions you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you. It is clear that in order to be highly qualified for out future jobs, we should make every possible preparation.
The difference between a man who succeeds and one who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities. The successful person always makes adequate preparations to meet opportunities as they duly arrive. The unsuccessful person, on the other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by. Obviously, the two different attitudes towards opportunities may lead to quite different consequences.
In my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and qualified highly can make use of them to achieve their purpose. (208 words )

現(xiàn)在許多人愿意乘飛機(jī)旅行。隨著我國民航事業(yè)的迅速發(fā)展，全國各大城市興建了許多現(xiàn)代化的機(jī)場。乘飛機(jī)旅行有許多長處（方便、快捷、省時、舒適等）；但是，空中旅行也有許多不足之處（機(jī)票價格貴，有的旅客不適應(yīng)空中旅行，常常感到身體不適，甚至有人還擔(dān)心發(fā)生空難）。請你簡單闡述上述兩個方面。最后請你說明你的看法。
（Composition for reference only ）
Many people prefer to travel by air. This is because air travel has some advantages. In the first place, airplane, the miracle created by man, is the fastest means of transport. It takes the least time for one to travel by air from one place to another. Secondly, traveling by air is convenient and comfortable. Friendly air hostesses are affectionate and considerate. They look after passengers all the way to their destinations. Moreover, on long distance flights there are films and music for people to entertain themselves.
As a popular saying goes, “Everything has two sides.” The same is true of air travel. It has some disadvantages, too. For one thing, air travel costs a great deal. The average Chinese are not rich enough to afford expensive air fares. So they prefer to take trains, which save a lot of money. For another, although passengers are assured of their safety, they are still worried about it during the journey because flying always involves more or less risk.
As far I am concerned, the advantage mentioned above exceed the disadvantages. If I were given choice between traveling by train, I would certainly prefer the former. For me, time is money and it is the most important thing I have to take into consideration whatever I do. (216 words)
